My website doesn't look good on my local webserver on ie8 & ie11, but it looks good on google chrome - iis-7

My other issue is that I am trying to run it in my local webserver (Window Server 2008), and the website seems to have a problem with IIS7 I guess because when I run it on iE (8 & 11), the menu doesn’t look good, and the slider too, but when I run it on google chrome, in my local webserver, the problem goes away. Do you think it would be any solution to work something around it, because I need to run it in ie. I tried hosting it with goddady and doesn’t seem to have any of these problems. Any advice is appreciated thanks

If Javascript is an option you could use the modernizr library.
It backports the modern html and css that you are using to work on older browsers.
Without you posting any code or detailing your server configuration that's about all the advice that can be given.

When I run it on Internet Explorer my navigation bar, doesn't work properly and some other elements do not show. But with google chrome everything works good. In the beginning I thought it was a browser issue so I hosted with Goddady and it worked perfectly with ie8 - ie11. So it doesn't make it a browser issues, it something between ISS7 & Internet Explorer (because even with ie11 doesn't work). Thanks

less css not working properly on server

So I recently bought a theme that uses less css, I tested it on my local wamp server and everything worked fine in ie chrome and chrome mobile.
I then proceeded to upload it to my online server and everything worked fine in chrome, ie and then when I tested it on chrome mobile it didn't load the css, but if I use opera mobile on the same phone it loads fine, so clearly the fault is with the server but not sure what the problem could be,
Any suggestions, ?
Check your .htaccess file on your web server to check if there is any kind of caching enabled,
If there is you need to remove these data stores / caches so that the browser downloads the new content rather than rendering the cached (old) version of the CSS.
To do this on chrome select Chrome and the Clear Browsing Data
p.s. Its worth trying this even if you .htaccess draws a null just to be sure...

My ASP.NET website is not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer 10 after server deployment

I've created a website using ASP.NET (C#) Framework 4.0
When running on my local IIS (in debug/release - before and after deployed) - the website is displayed correctly - as intended (checked on Internet Explorer 9, 10, Chrome and FireFox)
After I've deployed the website to my server (Windows Server 2008 DataCenter - Amazon hosting) - and only in IE 10 - the website is NOT displayed correctly - spacing is sometimes wrong, background colors sometimes disappeared, links not working properly, padding/margin is missing in some of the places and more... - it seems like the styles/CSS are partial... On other browsers (Chrome/FireFox/IE9) - it is displayed correctly (as intended)
I've tried to add the compatibility meta tags to IE=9 - didn't work (by the way, in IE10 - if I open the F12 tool - and change the Browser Mode to IE9 - it works!, but if I just change the Document Mode - it doesn't seem to help)
Why is Internet Explorer 10 evil??? Has anyone encountered this issue? any suggestions?
Thanks a lot! :)
As you write you are using F12 tools. My experience is that with Developer Tools running IE10 often does not apply all CSS rules (especially in at the end of external files). Refreshing the page or closing F12 tools usualy solves the problem. Also if you know which style is not applied it helps to disable and enable it again.
i have passe through a similar situation and some things just don't stay they way i want in every browser, so perhaps the better way out is to create CSS hacks tos specific spacing or styling issues you may have encoutered.

After a lot of searching and frustration, I've found the solution to my problem (here: http://www.nuget.org/packages/App_BrowsersUpdate)
Apparently the website should be updated to allow IE10 compatibility...
In your solution - install the ASP.NET Browser Capabilities Update using the following command in the "Package Manager Console" (can be started from "Tools"->"Library Package Manager" in your VS):
Install-Package App_BrowsersUpdate
(this will add ".browser" files to your website and few lines in your "web.config" file)
Rebuild and re-deploy your website and that's it! now my deployed website looks as intended on IE10!
(I still don't understand why it worked correctly on my localhost and not on the web server but at least the problem is solved)

deployed application appears different in IE8

I developed an application locally using the Visual Studio 2008 built-in web server and it is running nice and neat on every single browser.
When we deployed it on the IIS6 and open it on IE8, there are rendering issues. The fonts are bigger than the other browsers (which are still nice and neat) and some components just moved around. The generated HTML is the same as the others.
How can this be fixed?
Which DOCType are you using - are you in "quirks mode" or "standards mode"?
Are you using a CSS reset?
Are you using the IE7 compatibility tag?
There are ways to fix what's "wrong" but without seeing your code, determining what's wrong is difficult.
Press F-12 in IE8 and see what browser mode you are in. If you're in "quirks mode" you're in trouble.
Thanks to Diodeus and thirtydot we figured out how to solve the problem.
The meta tag "X-UA-Compatible" allow you to control the way Internet Explorer interprets and displays your webpage. when i set , it overrides the ie7 rendering mode that IIS 6.0 puts IE 8.0 into.
Here is some useful information about that:

2 servers, same website on both: IE shows two slightly different version

I'm getting a weird issue involving IIS and IE, and I'll try to describe it clearly.
I have a regular html-css-js/jquery website that I've developed locally. Now that it's ready, I'm trying to deploy it on a server.
Once it's hosted on the server, I see two problems in IE only:
The rendering is slightly different: there's a few pixels of additional white space all around my website (so the contents is actually more 'compressed' than when viewed locally).
Some JS issues: I'm using the Impromptu jQuery popup plug-in, and the callback I specify in its 'loaded' event pre-populates its forms fields. In FF it works, but in IE the fields don't get populated until I close the popup and open it again. This worked locally on all browsers.
As weird as it sounds, the text in my jQuery popup dialog does not seem to have the 'ClearType' technology applied. The text is like '1 pixel thin' and not anti-aliased like everywhere else.
I have uploaded my website to another server and it runs perfectly fine. The issue is that I need to put it on the first server and I don't know what's wrong. Both servers are on Win 2k3 with IIS 6, .NET 3.5.
Any pointers as to what is going wrong? Thanks a lot.
Make sure that the "security zone" in the Internet Explorer status bar is the same when viewing the site between the 2 servers.
Use the IE developer toolbar to debug your css. Could also be a caching issue if it looks like an older version.

IE backbutton works just once (as if browser history has just one entry)

I'm trying to fix a browser history issue. A customer of ours has a ASP.Net intranet page running for a while now. A colleague made it. Recently they asked to fix the "Back button" we made on their page (the application).
It looks at the sitemap and when clicked loads the parent page. However, in some situations I have to use "javascript:history.go(-1)". All worked fine on our test systems but when we deployed it on their test server it started to malfunctioned. We noticed that their production environment has the same problem.
Apparently all their machines (running IE) can only go back one page in the browser history. This is not intentional. We had one of their IT staff trying some other browsers and OS's. Apparently the problem (so far) only occurs when using IE. All other browsers they tested were fine. On my development system this problem doesn't occur. Also when I let someone else look at the site the problem doesn't occur either.
I have checked what their browser history length is set to and its 20 days. I tried searching here on stackoverflow but the only relevant answers concerning browser history didn't help.
How to clear browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome) history using JavaScript or Java except from browser itself?
Also pushing the back button (the one in IE), it only works for just one page back. There is no way we can navigate more than one page back.
How can I fix this?
Server: W2k3 R2 SP2
Clients: XP I guess / IE 8 mostly
This looks very much like a local configuration problem within your customer site and therefore unlikely to be seen elsewhere, as you've proved yourself. What you need to discover is how this could be restricted and SO isn't the place for that. You might want to try posting on SuperUser for further assistance.
