is not working with IE9

Question

Every time when I open a page that has the <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">, the page stops suddenly and It says that the page is not responding, do you know an alternative way to turn the compability mode OFF in the pages that I can Use from IE6 to IE10?

Check your quote marks, the ones here are unicode characters. `“` and `”` should be `"`. — Alexander O'Mara, Jan 27 '16 at 20:53
In my page they are like that, and it works perfectly in all versions except IE9. — Pablo Glez, Jan 27 '16 at 20:57
Not sure which "that" you are referring to, but the unicode characters are wrong, and the browser can do anything it wants with them because they are invalid. — Alexander O'Mara, Jan 27 '16 at 20:59
As for alternatives, you could set X-UA-Compatible via HTTP header. — Alexander O'Mara, Jan 27 '16 at 21:00
This shouldn't cause IE 9 to freeze. Can you produce a simple document with the `x-ua-compatible` meta tag, and an empty `` and ``, to see if it causes issues in IE 9? — Sampson, Jan 27 '16 at 21:56

In my experience IE9 is tricky - it falls between 7/8 which you can deal with and IE10 which is tons better.

This has always worked for me with IE 7-11:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<head>
<!--[if IE 8]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">
<![endif]-->

Hope this helps...

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <!-- The above 3 meta tags *must* come first in the head; any other head content must come *after* these tags -->


    <!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
