title: Why does webpage display in IE8 browser mode and IE7 document mode?
body: <p>For some unknown reason the site im working on keeps cross matching browser and document mode. When i open IE8 dev tools i see that browser mode is IE8 but document mode is IE7.</p>
  
  <p>I've made several doctype changes but am unable to get the site to automatically load in the browser mode for the document mode also namely IE8.</p>
  
  <p>Current Doctype declaration:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="true"  Src="Scripts/Splash.aspx.vb" Inherits="SplashFunctionality"%&gt;
  &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Welcome to CAE's KC-135 ATS Home&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/HomeStyles.css"/&gt;
  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/headerStyles.css"/&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Roladex.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/HeaderNav.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/HomeFunctionality.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/JSTweener.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
