Summary :
SAP applications, when operated in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), encounter compatibility issues due to multiple rendering modes. Initially designed for older IE versions using Quirks Mode, these applications face challenges with IE9's preference for its Standards mode, incompatible with previous modes. The symptom usually surfaces when an outer HTML leverages IE9 Standards, while inner content requires Quirks Mode. To address these scenarios, inserting a meta tag with "IE=Emulate8" in the outer HTML can enforce a compatible rendering environment, ensuring that embedded SAP applications display as intended despite the default mode settings.
