Indulge me, I'm fighting with IE.

We have a set of pages that work nicely in IE8 (intranet). The company decided upgrading directly to IE10.

What is the html code to force a page to use I5 Quirks Mode (this is the mode it works). I've tried with :

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE5"  />

But IE10 put's the page in quirks mode (not IE5). You open the debugger (F12) and there you can change the document mode and the browser mode. The important is to set the document mode in IE5 quirks

Some help is welcomed

    Well, how about chosing `IE=IE8` then? – yunzen Jun 25 '13 at 11:29

    Your company did the right thing by upgrading and not holding everyone back. You should either add the IE8 Compatible META tag or add it as a response header in IIS. Kudos to your company for not holding everyone back! You work in a good place, at least that is a great sign. Now get to work updating your application for the future! :) – Chris Love Jun 25 '13 at 14:12

The problem seems to be solved somewhere else

Does the windows 8 internet explorer 10 still have quirksmode?

<meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content="IE=5">

So, your value is false, it's IE=5 and not IE=IE5

IE10 does not have an IE5 mode. They updated Quirks Mode to be more like IE9 (I think, not sure on that) so it's more in line with Chrome/Firefox/etc.. The best it can do is IE7.
