In the head of the HTML, the following is written, excerpt from http://www.xingzai.org/html-note/meta-tag-usage-order.html:
- <!--x-ua-compatible (browser compatibility mode)
- Only for ie8+ to be effective
- Tell the browser what version of IE compatibility mode to display the Web page
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "ie=5" >
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "ie=7" >
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "ie=8" >
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "Ie=edge" >
- The last line is always to display the Web page in the latest IE version mode.
- Plus emulate mode
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "Ie=emulateie7" >
- <meta http-equiv= "x-ua-compatible" content= "IE=EMULATEIE8" >
- Emulate mode is more important after <! Doctype>
- (The attentive person will notice that the Compatible View button does not appear when using IE9 to access pages with x-ua-compatible)
- -
- <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="Ie=emulateie8" />
