IE 10 doc mode IE9 standards won't work
Hey,

I'm trying to force IE10 into IE9 standards mode but can't seem to get it. It works with my ie8 browser when i force it into ie 7 standards but ignores it in IE10.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head>  
<META HTTP-EQUIV="X-UA-COMPATIBLE" CONTENT="IE=EmulateIE9" >
</head>

blah blah website code...


Any ideas? or am i missing something obvious.

Thanks,
DSFX

I understand that this can be troublesome. I would modify the line to use the exact casing (upper and lower-case), even though HTML is not case-sensitive:

Code:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" />


I suspect, also, that if your page does not validate in some way then IE will default to ignoring your meta tag.

Validate

Otherwise, I would try a different (HTML5) DOCTYPE.
