    <p>I am quite confused. I should be able to set </p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>and IE8 and IE9 should render the page using the latest rendering engine. However, I just tested it, and if Compatibility Mode is turned on elsewhere on our site, it will stay on for <a href="http://wds.semo.edu/help/">our page</a>, even though we should be forcing it not to. </p> <p>How are you supposed to make sure IE does <strong>not</strong> use Compatibility Mode (even in an intranet)?</p> <p>FWIW, I am using the HTML5 DocType declaration (<code>&lt;!doctype html&gt;</code>).</p> <p>Here are the first few lines of the page:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;!--[if lt IE 7 ]&gt; &lt;html lang="en" class="innerpage no-js ie6"&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!--[if IE 7 ]&gt; &lt;html lang="en" class="innerpage no-js ie7"&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!--[if IE 8 ]&gt; &lt;html lang="en" class="innerpage no-js ie8"&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]&gt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;html lang="en" class="innerpage no-js"&gt; &lt;!--&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta charset="ISO-8859-1" /&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>EDIT: <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/08/27/introducing-compatibility-view.aspx">I just learned</a> that the default setting on IE8 is to use IE7 compatibility mode for intranet sites. Would this override the X-UA-Compatible meta tag?</p>
