YES. Say hello to MONEY!

If anybody else has problems with AdSense not rendering on the IE browser, put this code into the HEAD tag. There is a similar one that makes it render as IE 7 but it's glitchy and doesn't work. This one should work fine without bugs:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

I have absolutely no idea what problems you have had but in the entire lifetime of AdSense I have never had a rendering problem with ANY browser...insofar as I am aware and I test all of them that I know of, any more than 10 is pointless!

I have never heard of any issues with Adsense displaying within IE. In your case I would suggest you remove that code and work out why your specific install of IE is not displaying ads? It is also possible you have an error within your code that is causing the page to break within IE?

The code you have posted is used to determine what version of compatibility mode internet explorer should use. What you are doing is a workaround for a problem you really need to address. I suggest putting your page through a validator to see exactly what is wrong with it.

I'd take a look at your markup first to see if you're using containers or other code in a way that IE doesn't like. Also, what version of IE are you talking about? 11 has created some issues for me with certain JS driven stuff (like HTML editors) so it's possible that something on your page (other than Adsense but serving as a container for your ad) is where the real problem is. Frankly IE can go hang itself, compatibility mode, yeah right. As mack suggests, start with a validator and see if you can locate the real problem.

OH, wait a minute, you did identify the real problem: IE.

You probably have a missing closing tag somewhere or something similar. Adsense displays fine in all versions of IE 6 and up.
