    Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    I hope this proves useful to those experiencing compatibility issues in IE9?
    I spent a frustrating day trying to sort out why IE9 was going into compatibility mode. The site I was building validated fine, the plugins were disabled and I was running the latest version of WordPress. I was about to consider a different career other than web development when I noticed that there was a control character in a post’s text. Removing it removed the problem. The character in question looks like a subscript ‘L’ and is created when you add a soft return to text in Photoshop. As I receive files from designers, I always paste any text into Notepad first to remove this sort of junk but this one seems to get through? You get the same error on a flat site too so it's not just WordPress.
