I have to click on the little button that is made available from the above lines of code in order to use compatibility mode. Is it true there isn't a way to FORCE compatibility mode, but simply to enable the option of it? I’ve tried both and neither work.

However I found the instructions for doing it via headers on IIS here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc817572.aspx. Also I haven't heard of a way to force IE8 rending mode yet.
