Thanks for the response.  I was confused - I looked at the drupal/civicrm.module file only to find that in 2.2.8 it is already set to IE=7.  What was happening is that Drupal (Litejazz theme) was overriding the value to IE=8.  When I changed this in the Drupal theme's page.tpl.php file the problem was resolved.

Many thanks

grep is your friend

Code: [Select]
chris@kaki:/path/to/civicrm$ grep -ri "X-UA-Compatible" .
./drupal/civicrm.module:        $head .= "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=7\" />";
./templates/CRM/common/joomla.tpl:<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
./templates/CRM/common/standalone.tpl:<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Which is to say that the setting is stored in the files mentioned above, and appears on my 2.2.8 to be set correctly to IE=7. Perhaps some other module or feature is also setting it to IE=8?

Update - Oh, I hadn't seen that Donald had already responded to your message - missed the link to page 2 on the forum thread and the email notification had only shown your message.
