How to force IE10 to render page in IE9 document mode

Question

I have two questions    How can I force IE10 to render in IE9 document mode  Currently it s rendering my page in Standard document mode  In IE10 s developer toolbar  I am not able to see the option of document mode of IE10  Is it not implemented  or is my browser version is out of date    Thanks for all your help     Edit  thanks everyone for the solutions provided  Earlier I was using a meta tag  lt meta http-equiv  x-ua-compatible  content  IE edge   gt   just to make sure that IE will render the page in highest document mode  but I was facing some issues with IE10 standard mode  so I changed the meta tag to render the page in IE9 mode   lt meta http-equiv  x-ua-compatible  content  IE 9   gt

By what this says  IE10  the article is referred to a preview release  anyway  it s able to use X-UA-Compatible only if the document is in quirks mode  no DOCTYPE   otherwise IE10 won t react to the request   Here s an excerpt      Thus  to make IE10 react to the X-UA-Compatible directive  one must either create a page that triggers quirks-mode per the rules of HTML5  that is  an a page with no doctype   One can also send the directive as a HTTP header  however  A HTTP sent directive appears to have no effect if you use it to downgrade the rendering     it can only be used to upgrade the rendering   So  you ve to do it manually with Dvelopers Tools  or with quirks mode  but I suggest to stay in IE10 mode which is for the first time aligned to the other browers  standard   EDIT  The follows are some useful link to read   http   msdn microsoft com en-us library cc288325 v vs 85  aspx  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library jj676915 v vs 85  aspx  http   blogs msdn com b ie archive 2011 12 14 interoperable-html5-quirks-mode-in-ie10 aspx

The hack is recursive  It is like IE itself uses the component that is used by many other processes which want  web component   Hence in registry we add IEXPLORE exe  In effect it is a recursive hack

I haven t seen this done before  but this is how it was done for emulating IE 8 7 when using IE 9    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE EmulateIE9  gt    If not  then try this one    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 9  gt    Add those to your header with the other meta tags  This should force IE10 to render as IE9   Another option you could do  assuming you are using PHP  is add this to your  htaccess file   Header set X-UA-Compatible  IE 9    This will perform the action universally  rather than having to worry about adding the meta tag to all of your headers

You can tweak the Registry if you want to make changes only to your own system  If you have IE10 and lots of web sites you visit don t render properly in IE10  then you can tweak your registry to force IE to open in IE9 mode   HKEY CURRENT USER Software Microsoft Internet Explorer Main FeatureControl FEATURE BROWSER EMULATION   Create a DWORD as iexplore exe and give value 9999   Restart your IE and it will open in IE9 mode     Thanks to my colleague Sreejith D

Do you mean you want to tell your copy of IE 10 to render the pages it views in IE 9 mode  Or do you mean you want your website to force IE 10 to render it in IE 9 mode  For the former   To force a webpage you are viewing in Internet Explorer 10 into a particular document compatibility mode  first open F12 Tools by pressing the F12 key  Then  on the Browser Mode menu  click Internet Explorer 10  and on the Document Mode menu  click Standards  http   msdn microsoft com en-gb library ie hh920756 v vs 85  aspx  For the latter  the other answers are correct  but I wouldn t advise doing that  IE 10 is more standards-compliant  i e  more similar to other browsers  than IE 9

You should be able to do it using the X-UA meta tag    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 9    gt    However  if you find yourself having to do this  you re probably doing something wrong and should take a look at what you re doing and see if you can do it a different better way

You can force IE10 to render in IE9 mode by adding    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 9  gt    in your  lt head gt  tag   See MSDN for more information
