CSS not being applied for ASP.NET MVC app deployed on IIS

Question

Environment:
Visual Studio 2013 
ASP.NET MVC 5 
Windows 8.1 (both dev and deployment server)

My app displays and executes as expected within Visual Studio environment using localhost.

However, when I deploy to my IIS server, I find two problems (maybe related so including both here).

Installed as an app on the default site and accessed via http://myMachineName/myApp
1. Page doesn't render correctly. Everything is on the page, but the CSS is not being applied.
2. The code behind does NOT execute.


Installed as a new site and accessed via its port number: http://myMachineName:81
1. Page doesn't render correctly. Everything is on the page, but the CSS is not being applied.
2. The code behind does execute correctly.

Check browser's developer tool and see if your css file is loading — Zaki, Jun 02 '14 at 15:39
do you have the path correctly in the routing? Do you have the inetpub localhost added? is the css i nthe source path correctly? — Riskbreaker, Jun 02 '14 at 15:39
@Zaki How do I do this and what am I looking for? (I'm using IE on Windows 8) — Strax Tillbaka, Jun 02 '14 at 15:48
in IE : press F12 go to network tab and click on run, and refresh... — Zaki, Jun 02 '14 at 15:59
@Zaki It looks like CSS is being loaded/applied, but the look and feel is definitely different between the app run locally and the app run from IIS. Why would it behave/look different? — Strax Tillbaka, Jun 02 '14 at 16:46

Adding the following to each page fixed the UI and functionality issues on IE:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge">
