Display issues with IE - Nav buttons go missing!

Hi Sergey,
I am experiencing display issues with generated pages in IE11. (Firefox and Chrome do not have this issue).
The issue is that unless I untick 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' in IE11 compatibility view settings, List pages display like a spreadsheet grid (with no alternate row colouring) and navigation buttons disappear all pages making navigation impossible. Have you or anyone else heard of this issue. Its a bit of a show stopper as I'm shortly to roll out a site and I don't want to start off by asking all users to make setting changes.
Hoping you can assist. (happy to post the site if required).

You cannot "fix", Internet Explorer in compatibility mode acts like IE 8 and there is nothing you can do about this. The good thing is this option is only applied to intranet sites. So if you building a public website there is no issue with it.
If you building an internal website for your organization and your users need to use IE you have to tell them turn compatibility mode off.

javascript on load on login page
// Check IE browser version - This application supports IE ver 9 or above
var browser = navigator.appName

var ver = navigator.appVersion

var thestart = parseFloat(ver.indexOf("MSIE"))+1

var brow_ver = parseFloat(ver.substring(thestart+4,thestart+7))

if ((browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (brow_ver < 9))
