Initial Code 
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">
Initial URL

Initial Description 
„Versioning and Cross-document InteractionInternet Explorer 8 introduces the IE8 standards mode by default—this lets Web designers use the latest rendering features available in Internet Explorer 8. In addition to layout changes, IE8 standards mode will also affect the behavior of scripted APIs (DOM). 
To opt-out of IE8 standards mode, the META tag may be used to obtain IE7 compatibility mode“

Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ too.
This is a tiny JS library to makes IE versions behave like a standard browser.
Initial Title 
How to set IE8 in previous (IE7, IE5) rendering mode for backwards compatibility
