IE8 proxy CSS compatibility

Question

I create a site that uses some css properties, specifically display: inline-block . The problem is, in IE8 when the proxy is enabled, the display page is loaded without the display: inline-block property. When the proxy is disabled the display is OK. The strange thing is, the browser didn't use proxy because the site is in local.

I don't know what the problem is, have you an idea?

Answer 1

The root of the problem here is related to the security Zone of the page (Intranet), which impacts whether Compatibility View is used. See Tools > Compatibility View Settings > Display Intranet sites in Compatibility view.

The security zone of the page is in turn impacted by the proxy configuration. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250483(v=vs.85).aspx for details.
