IE 8 to 11 migration and compatibility issues

-
Hey Guys,

Hope you guys are struggling a bit to overcome the compatibility issues after migrating from IE 8 to IE 11.

Solution is to modify the code as and where it needs to changes (css/javascript/etc). But we do have alternate solutions to continue with our development work and also for very critical applications for which they shouldn’t impact.

Solution-1: Add application/web site to compatibility list under "Compatibility View Settings" menu item. 

Solution-2: Enable "Enterprise Mode" under Tools menu.

Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 Update and Windows 7 devices, let's websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate Internet Explorer 8, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
Also we have a tool to add the applications list to work on Enterprise Mode – “Enterprise Mode Site List Manager”

Solution-3: Only for development purpose till we get a proper solution/mitigation plan on the changes to be done.

For versions of Internet Explorer 8 and above, this:
http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7" />
Renders IE7 and IE8 as IE7, but IE9 as IE9. It allows for different levels of backwards compatibility. In real life, though, you should only chose one of the options:
 http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />
Adding "chrome=1" will allow the site to render in ChromeFrame for those users who have it, without affecting anyone else.
 http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge,chrome=1" />

Hope it helps. Thank you.

The Difference between GET and POST

-
When the user enters information in a form and clicks Submit , there are two ways the information can be sent from the browser to the server: in the URL, or within the body of the HTTP request. The GET method, which was used in the example earlier, appends name/value pairs to the URL. Unfortunately, the length of a URL is limited, so this method only works if there are only a few parameters. The URL could be truncated if the form uses a large number of parameters, or if the parameters contain large amounts of data. Also, parameters passed on the URL are visible in the address field of the browsernot the best place for a password to be displayed. The alternative to the GET method is the POST method. This method packages the name/value pairs inside the body of the HTTP request, which makes for a cleaner URL and imposes no size limitations on the forms output. It is also more secure. ASP makes it simple to retrieve name/value pairs. If the forms output is passed after the question mark (?
