Bug Description

Regression introduced by https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/2834/

List items in main navigation, sub navigation and in page tabs all now display as blocks in IE11, meaning they appear stacked on top of each other rather than side by side.
Previously the page was given the ie7 class in IE11, which forced these to use display: inline rather than display: table-cell. Although Firefox and Chrome are fine, Internet Explorer seems to display the list items as blocks unless their display style is set to inline (inline-block and table-cell are both ignored).

Should be tested to see if this also any other versions of IE.

Affects latest master

It may be as simple as adding <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> (IE may be using an old rendering engine for some reason - in fact, if that is the cause it may be possible to track down what's doing that and remove it)

This is caused by IE's default Compatibility View settings (for whatever reason any intranet site renders in IE7 mode by default). It can be fixed by simply going to Compatibility View settings and unticking "Display intranet sites in compatibility view".
The meta tag also works though and it would probably be good to include it for people who don't know about the setting or require compatibility view for other internal sites ...
