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 Compat View
Document Mode: IE7 Standards

I’ll even include what my doctype looks like with the beginning of my head tags:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>

And yes, I do close <body> and <html>.

Any ideas?

    Here’s the documentation you are looking for:

    Include this and IE will render as in IE9 mode:

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