We have an issue for one of the pages.
When I access the page with an IP address telerik based content renders correctly.
However, when I access the page with a computer name telerik based content is not alligned correctly.
Have anyone had similar problem, and how did you resolve it?

Hi Martin,

In one case IE8 is using its IE8 standards mode to render the page, while in the other case, it is using its Backwards Compatibility mode (which is quite similar to IE7).

If there is a problem with the RadControls, please send us a runnable example or a live URL.

Generally, you can use a meta tag to enforce a specific IE8 behavior.

Thank you for responding. This started to shed some light on the mystery.
I've put the compatibility tag and accessed the site with the computer name, and same odd display as before.
However, I've tried it with IP, then and I've seen that the odd display was happening with the IP as well.

So the problem is clearly with the compatibility mode. For some reason with computer name is used, it seems to break things.
Any ideas?

Hi Martin,

I guess it did not become clear from my previous message, but you can enforce IE8 behavior with

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

Probably you have set that IE8 renders all intranet sites in compatibility mode, hence the problem.
