Thank you both for your responses. You will I am sure think I am a complete idiot but I have yet be able to find the pages I've created from within the visual Web Developer 2008 IDE. Therefore I don't know where to put the meta tag info provided. How does one actually load a page created from within dnn and view/edit it from the Visual Web Developer IDE? If that is not possible do I place the information you've provided in the default.aspx page on the root of the site in VWD? When I load up default.aspx I don't see anything.

Please understand, that pages created in DotNetNuke are not stored as physical pages at all. Content of each module is stored in records of database tables and get combined "on the fly", when a page is displayed - i.e. there is NO chance to see the content of a portal page in VS. VS is used to create custom modules and skins, but not for content at all.

For the meta tag, I was mentioned before, you need to open default.aspx file in the root of DNN installation directory and insert the option just behind the < head> tag. Be aware that this change will be overwritten on portal upgrades.

You can also add the IE8 compatability code in other ways, see this for one option:

I have an interesting thing going on. I've got a site running in a temp location just fine for me. Everything works just as it should. However when I use a friends laptop to show him the site it doesn't work right. Menus with sub menus don't close as you progress down the links. Furthermore some pages won't even load up; very weird. He informed me he had upgraded to IE-8 which was causing him all kinds of problems with sites like Yahoo and others. I checked another system that had upgraded to IE-8 with the same results. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there a workaround?

I am also having problems with regards to uploading a site in my IE8. When I upgraded my browser into IE8, loading problems starts to occur.

I was wondering if anyone from this forum could help me.

Thanks alot in advance.
