It's also missing closing tags. The result was readable. Maybe it was using About:Blank's Body close tag? No clues from Edge's Console tab but as usual that stupid Clear on navigate was on so I would have to redo my test to know if that would have been giving any errors from the parser.

If I try Open with If I browse and select Explorer from its location and click open, nothing happens. The only way to open. Any idea how to get. Or cure Explorer? Thanks, Zsofi. Do you mean explorer. Welcom to Techspot :hotbounce , BTW! Spike said:. Click to expand Repeat for both. However, if anyone can get this to work without having to do that, I am still open to ideas since launching a web app isn't really the ideal solution for me.

I'm not sure whether this'll work because of IE's many crazy exceptions and rules regarding local files and compatibility mode, but try the META tag approach. See understanding compatibility modes to make sure you pick the right one. None of the three proposed solutions has resulted in the compatibility mode icon showing in IE8.
