How To Prevent IE From Opening My Page In Compatibility Mode?

I have this html/jsp page: <%@page contentType='text/html' pageEncoding='UTF-8'%> which, for some reason, is opened by defau

Solution 1:

insert meta tag in header HTML:

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

The "edge" forces standards mode (or latest rendering engine) in IE.

To force IE8 to standard mode.

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8">
