Hello ,
i have a website running joomla and ARI YUI menu system. on my website some articles always turn IE8 automatically to "comparability mode" and in that mode disabling parts of the ARI YUI menu. I wasn't able to determine what exactly in the code triggers the compatibility mode thing but this is highly disturbing and ruins the entire CSS layout of the site. perhaps someone could shed some light on what is causing this and how to avoid it or at least make it not affect the menu system
an example for a proper page on my site is : www.kaplanoland.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=76

an example for a page which trigger compatibility mode is here: www.kaplanoland.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=34

** notice that in computability mode the "contact" and "about" links dont work as well as the text "hover" color change feature.

I'd love to get any insight on the subject.

thank you all!

Hello,

Some reasons when IE switches to compatibility mode can be found here. See "Implications of the Compatibility View" section.

well, in any case, why does my menu stop working properly in compatability view? (the links to "about" and "contact" stop working)..

Try to add the next CSS rules:
