How to have Delphi TWebbrowser component running in IE9 mode?
Solution 1:
- Opt in to the browser emulation feature using the documented registry key.
- Depending on the browser emulation setting that you selected, you may need to ensure that your document contains a suitable DOCTYPE. Again, this is described in the documentation.
So, for example, if you wish to make the simplest possible change you would add the following registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER) SOFTWARE Microsoft Internet Explorer Main FeatureControl FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION YourExeNameGoesHere.exe = (DWORD) 00009999
The documentation for the value 9999
says:
9999 Windows Internet Explorer 9. Webpages are displayed in IE9 Standards mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive.
Were you to use 9000
then you'd need also to modify the DOCTYPE of your document:
9000 Internet Explorer 9. Webpages containing standards-based !DOCTYPE directives are displayed in IE9 mode. Default value for Internet Explorer 9.
The linked documentation also includes the information required to specify other IE versions.
Solution 2:
include in html, " http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
</head>
<body>
your code ....
