A stupid bug in IE, that killed our 10 hours.

A stupid bug in IE that killed our 10hours. I told our, that is 5 developers each 2 hours we spent to resolve a issue.

A stylesheet class, because of which IE 8, was automatically redirecting to compatibility mode.

The class is


#BKWords { margin-top: 8px; max-height: 75px; overflow:scroll; }

Above css will not work in IE 8 and will redirect/reload to compatibility mode.

This is an issue in IE8. If you give the style as max-height and overflow scroll, IE8 will redirect automatically to compatibility view. For this we have to give overflow as auto.
