ASP .NET legacy site page breaks

Question

I have an ASP .NET 2.0 site that will not render page breaks. I can temporarily fix this with document compatibility, but how do I configure the server to permanently fix this?

Hi,

Could you please tell the version of IE and the OS?

Meanwhile, regarding ASP.NET 2.0 here, we could also seek help in ASP forum for help:

The server is Windows Server 2003. IE 11 running on Windows 7 as the web page access. This is well documented on Microsoft sites. It has to do with the CSS compatibility on IE 11 that not longer recognizes the <p> page-break tag.

Do you have a reference for that? In particular, I would suspect that <p> is not the correct syntax because that is an HTML paragraph tag.

Oh. I think I see what you are referring to:

The only exceptional case though seems to be the

page-break-inside property

This property requires Internet Explorer to be in IE8 Standards mode rendering.

The others mention IE9 visually but not in words.

So I have legacy code that has worked for 10 years and IE 11 has broken it after we upgraded to Windows 7?

We have to change to IE8 EVERYTIME we access the same page. That's a pain. I researched that this can be fixed on the server side.
