I am using following code snippet to force IE's latest mode to run. Though I am using "Edge", for some reason IE is always opened in Document mode IE 7 standards.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html lang="en" class="no-js"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<!-- Meta-Information -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
</head>
I am working on an intranet site, so I have checked the tools -> compatibility settings -> display intranet sites in compatibility view is checked.
I thought this is the reason, my web page is getting opened in compatibility mode and there is no easy way around it as I can't ask every user to change these settings.
I removed following modernizr code snippet from the html page and my web page opens in Document mode Internet explorer IE9 standards
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html lang="en" class="no-js"> <!--<![endif]-->
Does anyone know what is the relation between document mode being set to 7 and above modernizer specific code snippet.
Note: I haven't disabled "display intranet sites in compatibility view" settings, it is still checked and after removing modernizer my page loads in IE9 standards mode and displays correctly
