How to prevent IE9 from rendering intranet sites in compatibility mode

Question

IE9 has a weird problem where it renders intranet sites in compatibility mode.

Does anyone know a way how to prevent this from happening?

Note: I am not loo

Answer 1

This can be done by adding a simple meta tag

Another way to accomplish this is to add this code to your .htaccess file!

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Better website experience for IE users
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Force the latest IE version, in various cases when it may fall back to IE7 mode
#  github.com/rails/rails/commit/123eb25#commitcomment-118920
# Use ChromeFrame if it's installed for a better experience for the poor IE folk


  Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1"
  # mod_headers can't match by content-type, but we don't want to send this header on *everything*...
  
    Header unset X-UA-Compatible
