IE 8 -> IE 7 Compatibility view. What triggers it?

Question

I'm wondering what triggers the IE 7 Compatibility View Document Mode in IE 8. I enhanced some website, but I get Stuck in the IE 7 view. I assume it has something to do with Javascript, but what could be the causes? In IE9 + everything renders fine.

It seems you're looking for X-UA-Compatible

<!--  Force IE to use the latest version of its rendering engine -->

This just forces the IE 8 Document Mode. But it seems that someone there is broken. – Martin Lechner Jul 20 '13 at 12:50
