Or
How can I emulate different version like IE8/IE9 etc using HTML meta tag ?
I tried something like below, but its not helping.

IE11 browser showing document mode as 5(default)

Im using bootstrap framework and using the follwoing docttype and meta tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EDGE" />
Here IE showing document mode as 5(default), mean while all the UI got disturbed, any solution for showing IE=edge.
Thanks
Your IE options are probably set to display Intranet sites in Compatibility View. I tested IE 11 at the official Bootstrap site and it was set to Edge using X-UA meta tag.
From the MS documentation:
Via intranet compatibility settings: The "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" box is checked in the Compatibility View settings."

Google Map not displaying at all in IE10

The current webpage isn't showing the gmap at all under IE10 but all the other browsers are able to display it properly. Can someone guide me through a possible solution?
I've tried the
META http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=9
and
META http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=edge
without success!
I'm currently using drupal 7 for the website and a gmap module.
Thanks for the replies
I have identify your error why it is giving this error it is because You have set this meta tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">
As per IE10 Browser Standard mode and Other Browser version IE8 Standard which is not support the Console's Following method
Console.log();
Console.info();
Console.warn();
But, If you can set the IE mode to 9 it will be work.
In IE10 Version there is 4 different methods are available in which Console.dir() is used instead of above 3.
In your Javascript file give this error:
"SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'warn' Bmain,adsense,geometry,zombie.js, line 70 character 35".
In that case you cannot change the javascript because it is load from the Google CDN.
So, possible you can add the following to your HTML will help you to change the Document Standard Mode to IE=9.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">

CSS Pie & IE Meta Tag

I've been using CSS3 Pie on my site with great success. I recently had a Jotform form with a custom CSS button with radius, Pie doesn't work with Jotform so I came across this meta tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
which when added to the particular page resolved the radius issue in IE8.
My question is this, if it's this simple to allow older versions of IE to render modern CSS can this tag be utilized as default and if not why not i.e bad practice, technical reasons etc.
It seems to good to be true so I'm guessing there has to be a reason, I'm aware it doesn't validate but to avoid this it can be added to an .htaaccess file.
This meta tag is needed to prevent IE8—10 from switching to Compatibility mode (which means more or less emulation of the IE7 renderer). In most cases, it's a good practice to use the latest available rendering engine, so it's better to keep this meta tag.
Also, be sure that pages have the proper Doctype (<!DOCTYPE html> will be enough for almost all practical applications), so other browsers also could display them using the newest rendering mode, according to the latest standards that browsers can support.
!-- Force IE to use the latest version of its rendering engine -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
The above meta tag is used to force IE to use the latest version of its rendering engine.
In case if user opens in IE8 browser with IE8's default rendering engine? This will certainly fails. Therefore it is good to use CSS3PIE along with this meta tag.
You can check this in MSDN Library.

Force IE9 Document Standards in IE10

When I view my website in IE10, it seems that it's automatically forcing IE8 document standards. However, I would like it to use IE9 standards, when being viewed in IE10.
Is there a way to do this?
The page has <!DOCTYPE html> at the top.
EDIT: It turned out that I had <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> in the page header, which was causing the page to render in IE8 document mode. Changing this to IE=9 fixed the issue.
I recommend to use the X-UA meta tag. The X-UA-Compatible meta tag allows you to choose what version of Internet Explorer the page should be rendered as.
You specify the user agent and version to use in the contents of the tag. The current options you have for the content are: IE=5, IE=EmulateIE7, IE=7, IE=EmulateIE8, IE=8, IE=EmulateIE9, IE=9, IE=edge.
Emulating the version tells the browser to use the DOCTYPE to determine how to render content. Pages without a DOCTYPE will be rendered in quirks mode. If you tell it to use the browser version without emulating (i.e. IE=7) the browser will render the page in standards mode whether or not there is a DOCTYPE declaration. IE=edge tells Internet Explorer to use the highest mode available to that version of IE. Internet Explorer 8 can support up to IE8 modes, IE9 can support IE9 modes and so on.
I think you need this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
Use X-UA meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
And I don't know why you want to do this, as IE 10 is far more excellent than any of the previous versions of IE, if you are testing, you can press F12 and change the mode

How to force IE10 to render page in IE9 document mode

I have two questions:
How can I force IE10 to render in IE9 document mode? Currently it's rendering my page in Standard document mode.
In IE10's developer toolbar, I am not able to see the option of document mode of IE10. Is it not implemented, or is my browser version is out of date?
Thanks for all your help.
Edit: thanks everyone for the solutions provided. Earlier I was using a meta tag
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=edge" >
just to make sure that IE will render the page in highest document mode, but I was facing some issues with IE10 standard mode, so I changed the meta tag to render the page in IE9 mode:
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=9" >.
You should be able to do it using the X-UA meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
However, if you find yourself having to do this, you're probably doing something wrong and should take a look at what you're doing and see if you can do it a different/better way.
Do you mean you want to tell your copy of IE 10 to render the pages it views in IE 9 mode?
Or do you mean you want your website to force IE 10 to render it in IE 9 mode?
For the former:
To force a webpage you are viewing in Internet Explorer 10 into a particular document compatibility mode, first open F12 Tools by pressing the F12 key. Then, on the Browser Mode menu, click Internet Explorer 10, and on the Document Mode menu, click Standards.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ie/hh920756(v=vs.85).aspx
For the latter, the other answers are correct, but I wouldn't advise doing that. IE 10 is more standards-compliant (i.e. more similar to other browsers) than IE 9.
You can tweak the Registry if you want to make changes only to your own system. If you have IE10 and lots of web sites you visit don't render properly in IE10, then you can tweak your registry to force IE to open in IE9 mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
Create a DWORD as iexplore.exe and give value 9999. Restart your IE and it will open in IE9 mode :)
Thanks to my colleague Sreejith D :)
I haven't seen this done before, but this is how it was done for emulating IE 8/7 when using IE 9:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9">
If not, then try this one:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
Add those to your header with the other meta tags. This should force IE10 to render as IE9.
Another option you could do (assuming you are using PHP) is add this to your .htaccess file:
Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=9"
This will perform the action universally, rather than having to worry about adding the meta tag to all of your headers.
By what this says, IE10 (the article is referred to a preview release, anyway) it's able to use X-UA-Compatible only if the document is in quirks mode (no DOCTYPE), otherwise IE10 won't react to the request.
Here's an excerpt:
Thus, to make IE10 react to the X-UA-Compatible directive, one must either create a page that triggers quirks-mode per the rules of HTML5 (that is: an a page with no doctype). One can also send the directive as a HTTP header, however: A HTTP sent directive appears to have no effect if you use it to downgrade the rendering — it can only be used to upgrade the rendering
So, you've to do it manually with Dvelopers Tools, or with quirks mode (but I suggest to stay in IE10 mode which is for the first time aligned to the other browers' standard)

You can force IE10 to render in IE9 mode by adding:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
in your <head> tag.
See MSDN for more information...
there are many ways can do this:
add X-UA-Compatible
tag to head
http response header
using IE tools F12
change windows Registry
The hack is recursive. It is like IE itself uses the component that is used by many other processes which want "web component". Hence in registry we add IEXPLORE.exe. In effect it is a recursive hack.
I found this post while I was looking for a solution to my DNN6 website.
The error was
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'documentElement' of undefined or
null reference
But I needed the same solution: force compability mode to IE9. So let me share with you what I did to solve this.
So, for DotNetNuke 6 users try the StyleHelper SkinObject
Worked great for me!
