This unfortunately breaks other things  Here is the fix I found on another site that seemed to work for me   I d say leave the X-UA-Compatible as  IE 8  and  add the following code to the bottom of your master page    lt script language  javascript  gt         IE11 Fix for SP2010        if  typeof UserAgentInfo      undefined   amp  amp   window addEventListener                 UserAgentInfo strBrowser 1           lt  script gt    This fixes a bug in core js which incorrectly calculates that sets UserAgentInfo strBrowse 3 for IE11 and thus supporting addEventListener   I m not entirely sure on the details other than that but the combination of keeping IE 8 and using this script is working for me  Fingers crossed until I find the next IE11 SharePoint  bug

Best way to solve this until a fix is available  if a fix comes  is to force IE compatibility mode on the user   Use  lt META http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 9  gt  ideally in the masterpage so all pages in your site get the workaround

I face the similar issue and surprisingly meta tag didn t work this time  Turns out the company I currently cooperate with has this enterprise mode setting which has priority over meta tag   We can t change the setting cause policy issue  Luckily I don t really need any fancy features but basic usage of jQuery so my final solution is to switch its version to 1 12 for better compatibility   ref  jQuery - Browser support

We were also facing this issue when using IE version 11 to access our React app  create-react-app with react version 16 0 0 with jQuery v3 1 1  on the enterprise intranet  To solve it  i simply followed the directions at this url which are also listed below    Make sure to set the DOCTYPE to standards mode by making sure the first line of the master file is   lt  DOCTYPE html gt  Force IE 11 to use the latest internal version by including the following meta tag in the head tag    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge     gt    NOTE  I did not face the problem when using IE to access the app in development mode on my local machine  localhost 3000   The problem occurred only when accessing the app deployed to the DEV server on the company Intranet  probably because of some company wide Windows OS policy settings and or IE Internet Options
