User that use Internet Explorer 9 all report that Chronoforms with tabs ( Areas - container type Tabs Area) do not show the tabs area. The rest of the forms are visible, but the tab area is not. This seems specific for this version of IE.
Does this ring a bell?
And what is the solution?

Hi Ben,
Could you use IE9 dev tools to inspect the page and check why the tabs are not visible ?

After some more investigation (with a PC of a user that experienced the problem) I now know that this behaviour of the tabbed area in Chronoforms is caused by the so called 'Compatibility View' in Internet Explorer. If IE is set in Compatibility mode, then the tabbed areas are gone / not visible (they are visible for a fraction of a second and then disappear). When this mode is cancelled then all is well: the tabbed areas become visible again.
So the question now is: how can I make these tabbed area's visible for IE user that set their browser in Compatibility mode. I know that they should not do that in the first place (or even better not use IE at all :? ), but I cannot control the users of the sites I build. But I can control the sites I build, so I would like to seek the solution there, if possible.

Its hard to tell, did you try to check the CSS rules affecting the tabs using the IE dev tools ?
