Answer 1

its still opening in "Compat View " Mode but in its works, no differences in UI aftert adding

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" > 

script

Answer 2

We found it was caused by the checkbox in "Compatibility view settings" - "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View".

It works well after uncheck the box.

PS. Is it true that "localhost" is excluded from intranet sites?
