Right now I am using the following on a Master Template in SharePoint 2010...
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
But how do I get edge, but only up to IE9? I don't want IE to try to render a page under IE10 standards in an IE10 browser. I want it to use IE9 standards, which works a lot better....
thanks for any advice.
I think you want to change that to
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" >

In my website text and text field is not editable in ie , when i enable compatibility view in ie ,this thing solved my problem but I want to know that is there a way to active compatibility view by coding or meta tag
Yes you can
add this meta inside <head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
I have developed a web site on Google App Engine using JSP and JQuery 1.11.2. The following tag is added to the Head section on every jsp.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
The client has to be using IE9 to view this site. Also, the javascript code only works with "IE9 Compatibility View".
The issue is every time the user opens the home page IE9 renders it in "Internet Explorer 9" mode instead of ""IE9 Compatibility View"".
How can I set up the meta tag in head to force IE9 to use "IE9 Compatibility View" as Browser Mode and keep "IE9 Standards" as Document Mode?
For force IE9 to use "IE9 Compatibility View", like this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
or use X-UA-Compatible in the HTTP header.
Use this as a first meta tag in page,
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
If I use <!doctype html>, do I have to use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> to prevent Internet Explorer's compatability message?
Thanks guys!
Using <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> will override such settings as "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" (which is enabled by default). I've found using the meta tag is helpful when working on new pages which share a server with old (IE7 and older) pages, but I'm not sure if it's the preferred technique.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" >
the above line of code forces the browser to make
Document mode to IE 9 standard and
Browser mode to IE 9 Compatiblity mode
How can i make Document mode to IE 9 standard and browser mode to IE 9 mode
this works for me..
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
Do you have any other links or scripts above your X-UA-Compatible meta tag in your <head>? If so this might be causing the problem.
Also make sure to check the compatibility settings in your browser itself by going to:
Tools --> Compatability View Settings
There are several possible explanations, such as HTTP headers overriding the meta tag, domain name being blacklisted by Microsoft, or your local admin having forced IE to Compatibility mode. For a description of some possibilities and possible cures, check out IE8 and IE9 Complications in “Activating Browser Modes with Doctype”.
How can I tell if I should include this meta tag in my site?
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
By testing it in various versions of IE (and, as a rule of thumb, if there are problems, fix the problems rather then telling IE to emulate an older version of itself).
