Basically I have been going through a problem and would like to enforce my browser to be used under Browser Mode: IE 10 Compatable View and Document Mode: Quirks.
As in IE 10 Document Mode is IE 5 Quirks and only Quirks but, I am unable to enforce it by using document mode and meta-tag too.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
".dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EDGE"/>
This is what I have been trying but no luck.

- Basically the application is too old on which I am working and can't change to much code to setup the UI but i have testing it by changing the browser mode and document mode and it's seems perfect on IE Compatibility View with Quirks – Wasif Kirmani Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 13:49

I suggest using standards mode, and having
* {box-sizing:border-box;}in your CSS. This will fix most layout issues and avoid having to use quirks mode. – Spudley Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 13:53 -
IE=EDGEmeans "Use IE10 Standards mode". You wantIE=EmulateIE7which means "Use Compatibility view, and use Quirks mode if the document isn't in standards mode." – EricLaw Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 19:07

Reset to default 3You can try this, if the browser it IE10 the rendering machine will be changed to latest one.
!-- Force IE to use the latest version of its rendering engine -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
chrome=1 means IE should use the Chrome rendering engine if installed
I think changing document type Quirks seems a bad idea, however if you need then you may have to remove the !DOCTYPE.
If none of these rules apply, the declaration determines whether the webpage renders in a standards mode, Almost Standards mode, or quirks mode.
