For _new_ documents, you should always push IE to display in the latest mode (that it supports): <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> Then test in older versions and add some adjustments as needed (i.e.via conditional comments). > If we changed this to: > > <!DOCTYPE html> > <html> > > > How would this affect what IE7 and IE8 render our pages? With the HTML5 doctype, IE 6 and up will all render in 'strict' mode, or their understanding of it…; there are some differences with what you use now (strict vs transitional). But as noted above, adjust for older browsers if needed.
