BrowserSetIEMode Function

Action

Sets the IE compatibility mode for the browser-driven Web load testing feature. This API call has to be called before the BrowserStart function when browser applications are starting. Because this is a global setting, all running instances are affected when started depending on the current value.

Note: This function only works if Compatibility View is disabled in Internet Explorer. To disable Compatibility View in Internet Explorer 9, choose Tools > Compatibility View settings and uncheck the Display intranet sites in Compatibility View check box.
