X-UA-Compatible in parent is IE=8, page in IFRAME is IE=edge,chrome=1

Question

I have a add-on for a webapplication. The addon has the X-UA-Compatible set to "IE=edge,chrome=1" in order to get the JSON, DOMParser and XMLSerializer objects in javascript.

Add-on is running in a IFRAME. The problem seemes to be that the top windows with the IFRAME is using IE=8 as X-UA-Compatible and that setting seems to override the setting in the page for the addon.

Is there any way around this? Will the parent page control the X-UA-Compatible for the page in IFRAME?

Answer 1

No there is not. The view mode will always be set according to the topmost frame/window.

I can confirm this answer is correct. I've tried headers in the iframe, a meta tag and both, but nothing helped. – Polyneuritis
