Website rendering in compatibility mode in ie9

votes

I am having problems with passyunkpost.com. I cannot replicate the problem, but the site owner is having issues with it in IE9, where the logo and other items are not working right. I tried using this code: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"> But this renders a blank page.

Does anyone have any suggestions of a workaround?

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"> This is the code - Samantha Slade
Did you place this code right after <head> start tag, before <title>? Wasn't there any output before this meta tag, including invisible characters before doctype? - Ilya Streltsyn

A little late but the meta tag needs to be the first tag inside head

YES

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

NO

<head>
    <title>Title</title>
    <meta other-meta-tags />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
</head>

I've had trouble with just using the meta tag though. If you're using PHP you can also set this header. This seems to give more consistent results:

header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge");
