RFE: allow selectable document mode for IE

I usually manually set <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

I see this is now an option under "STYLE & configure LAYOUT" to disable EmulateIE7. When I visit my site pagsa.missouri.edu with IE9 beta, the documents mode is still IE7 (I have refreshed). I agree that the EmulateIE7 header line no longer exists, but how can I force IE8 documents mode?

EDIT

Nevermind, I see that I just need to add

Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

outside of the following block:

Code:

<?php if  ( isset($bfa_ata['EmulateIE7']) ) { if ( $bfa_ata['EmulateIE7'] == "Yes" ) { ?><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

<?php }}; ?>

and leave the option for EmulateIE7 set to No.

FEATURE REQUEST

Now that the code is in place on your end, it would be great to make the option a selectable list of document types so this doesn't have to be manually set with every update.

Added this as an RFE for 3.6.5

I have made the necessary changes for my feature request. Hopefully they can be incorporated into 3.6.5. Editing version 3.6.4, the changes are as follows:

header.php: lines 9-10
Remove these lines:

Code:

<?php if  ( isset($bfa_ata['EmulateIE7']) ) { if ( $bfa_ata['EmulateIE7'] == "Yes" ) { ?><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

<?php }}; ?>

Replace with these lines at same location:

Code:

<?php if ( isset($bfa_ata['IEDocType']) ) { 

switch ( $bfa_ata['IEDocType'] ) { 

        case "None":

                break;

        case "EmulateIE7":

                echo "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=EmulateIE7\" />";

                break;

        case "EmulateIE8":

                echo "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=EmulateIE8\" />";

                break;

        case "IE8":

                echo "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=8\" />";

                break;

        case "IE9":

                echo "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=9\" />";

                break;

        case "Edge":

                echo "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=Edge\" />";

                break;

        default:

                break;

}} ?>
