Disable Compatibility View Through Code In IE?

Question

I for some reason am calling a doctype preferably XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and for some reason every single time I open it in Internet Explorer I get...

Browser Mode: IE9

Answer 1

Here's the documentation you are looking for: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx

Include this and IE will render as in IE9 mode:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Answer 2

By default, IE will render in compatibility mode for websites on the same subnet as the client. You can fix this by either turning off this feature in IE by going to Tools->Compatibility View Settings and unchecking Display Intranet sites in compatibility mode, or by including the meta tag that Sologoub mentioned.

Answer 3

I have this issure too. And I found a solution :

insert meta tag in header HTML:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>

and set the equivalant header:

header('X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge');

Or if you use Zend Framework (or any framework for that matter), something like this will do Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getResponse()->setHeader('X-UA-Compatible', 'IE=Edge');

Thanks.

Answer 4

Sometimes you need to be a bit more comprehensive so that you target all the possible user overrides. Certainly for single-page apps like Meteor:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=EDGE; Chrome=1" />

Hope this helps.
