Hi All,

I am newbie in javascript. I want to check that whether website is added or not added to compatibility view settings of ie browser . I am not able to change any server side(.asp files) code. so i have to use javascript(i can edit .js file). I google for this, and get solution as to add

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

to every page header info. but i can't change any server side code.

I want to get website list under Websites you've added to compatibility view : . see this ref image.

As per image i want to get list {"about.com", "msdn.com"}.

Thanks all

If you can't add server-side code, where are you planning to put the Javascript?

I doubt if you can read the list from the browser - that would be a security hole, exposing a list of sites the user expects to visit.

You can find out if the current page is using compatibility mode though
