IE Browser Mode different from Document mode

Question

I am making a website for a client.

Tested it in Safari/IE9*8*7/Chrome/Firefox, everything fine.

I deliver the website and the client calls me that there are weird graphical stuff going on. I ask his browser version, check it on my pc('s) everything fine.

So I go over to the client, and it appears his browser Mode is IE9 and Document mode IE7 and that has some strange effects.

It seems it's the same on every PC in his office.

I have never seen an IE set like this. Is this common ? why do they do that ? Should I support that ?

If anyone has any answers, they are welcome :)

So, not sure, but I think you can add this to the <head> part of your HTML document:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" >
