We use a web based repair manual and information site for factory Volkswagen service. the site works best when used with ie 8. it works at about 90% with ie 9. we use it with ie 8 and windows xp. I use it with windows 7 and ie 9, sometimes have to use the developer tools to switch to ie 8. I now have a windows 8 desktop and a windows 8 surface rt. the Volkswagen site did not work with ie 10. if I used the developer tools and switched to ie 8 it worked ok. the windows 8.1 update updated ie 10 to ie 11. ie 11 does not work well with the site. using developer tools and switching to ie 8 does not work also. the goal is to use the surface rt with it because of its support for printers. Volkswagen just came out with an ipad app for the same web site. the ipad does not have the printing features the surface rt does.
why does the windows 8.1 ie 11 developers tools not correctly emulate ie 8?
