Force IE compatibility mode off using tags

Question

I am doing work for a client who forces compatibility mode on all intranet sites. I was wondering if there is a tag I can put into my HTML that forces compatibility mode off

After many hours troubleshooting this stuff... Here are some quick highlights that helped us from the X-UA-Compatible docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(VS.85).aspx#ctl00_contentContainer_ctl16

Using

• The Standard User Agent modes (the non-emulate ones) ignore directives in your page and render based on the standards supported by that version of IE (e.g., IE=8 will better obey table border spacing and some pseudo selectors than IE=7).

• Whereas, the Emulate modes tell IE to follow any directives in your page, rendering standards mode based the version you choose and quirks mode based on IE=5

• Possible values for the content attribute are:

  content="IE=5"

  content="IE=7"

  content="IE=EmulateIE7"

  content="IE=8"

  content="IE=EmulateIE8"

  content="IE=9"

  content="IE=EmulateIE9"

  content="IE=edge"
