When i am checking my code with the developer tools (F12), I have seen the option Compatibility view only in IE browsers. Why don't other browsers have this compatibility view mode?
I am confused about this. Can you guys clarify, is there any specific reason for this?
Because IE is the only mainstream browser which was so screwed up in its rendering that developers had to specifically work around IE problems and deliver alternative versions of their pages just for IE. The "compatibility mode" switches between the newer standards compliant mode and the older screw-up mode.
Other browsers don't have it because they've never had an alternative screw-up mode.
