I need a page to always render in IE9 browser mode and document mode IE9 standards.
Can I force this behaviour? It seems like if the user is selecting another mode or standard there is no way to change this by setting DOCTYPE and X-UA-Compatible meta. The header of my page is below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
Can someone please help me figuring this out and why the browser won’t go into standard IE9 mode?
Short answer is that I can’t force browser mode. It’s added for development purposes. Document mode can however be changed using the doc type and the meta tag.
