IE forced to compatibility mode

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12758785

Question

I have a popup with over 1500 checkboxes, after checking the checkboxes when the user closes the popup the list of checked checkboxes are populated on the main page. This functionality is working fine. The problem occurs when the user selects a lot of checkboxes say over 600-700 checkboxes, in this case a huge amount of HTML is injected into the DOM. This forces IE to compatibility mode. Has anyone faced such a situation? How can i solve it? removing this functionality or reducing the number of checkboxes is not an option.

Very simple code to inject HTML:

$("#" + DestDiv).html(listString);

And the generated HTML is perfect, I crosschecked it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Good to use this doctype, if you are not sure.

<!DOCTYPE html>

I haven't heard about a size limit forcing compatibility mode. Don't you think it's because you test one time on a server and one time locally ?
