I have a website depending on vector drawing, for Internet Explorer I'm using VML and for other browsers I'm using SVG. IE8 however, doesn't have support for neither without falling back to IE7-mode which has VML.
Therefore I'm including <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />.
The problem (well, actually a good thing) is that IE9 now has support for SVG so I don't want it to fall back to IE7-mode which has much worse performance and compatibility. How do I tell only IE8 to fall back to IE7-mode but let IE9 stay in IE9-mode?
Right now I'm doing a server side check on the agent whether to include the EmulateIE7-string in the head or not but I want to avoid this as far as it's possible.
