I have this old web site that runs fine in IE8, but stops working in IE10. I tested this by setting the document mode in the Developer tools (F12) to "standard settings for IE8" (ALT-8).
To set the document mode in IE with HTML I have added a meta tag in my page; it now starts with this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
...
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">
If I now go back to the page it doesn't work. The browser DOES see the meta tag tho: in the developer tools the option "Standard setting for IE8" (ALT-8) now has an added "(Standard settings for this page). If I chose this option the page works fine. Problem though is that when I use the first option - "standard settings" (ALT-S) the page does not work. Even though these standard settings should be the IE8 standard settings. What is going wrong?
I have not tried this but it might work. You can edit
by the line given below
Here,
**IE=edge**means it will directly open it in standard mode.
