How to disable Compatibility View in IE

Question

I am wondering how do you stop people who are using IE 8 from going to Compatibility mode    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 8    gt    I found this tag and I think this forces people to stay in IE-8 mode but I am not too sure and can t check as I have IE 9   If people are in IE 9 mode I force them to not go into IE 8 or IE 7 Compatibility mode   I tried to put the above line in my code and went to IE 9 -  Tools -  Compatibility View Grayed Out    but  Compatibility View Settings  was not grayed out and it seems you could add the site through there   So should that not disable

This should be enough to force an IE user to drop compatibility mode in any IE version      lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE EDGE    gt    However  there are a couple of caveats one should be aware of    The meta tag above should be included as the very first tag under  lt head gt   Only the  lt title gt  tag may be placed above it    If you don t do that  you ll get an error on IE9 Dev Tools  X-UA-Compatible META tag ignored because document mode is already finalized    If you want this markup to validate  make sure you remember to close the meta tag with a   gt  instead of just  gt   Starting with IE11  edge mode is the preferred document mode  To support enable that  use the HTML5 document type declaration  lt  doctype html gt   If you need to support webfonts on IE7  make sure you use  lt  DOCTYPE html gt   I ve tested it and found that rendering webfonts on IE7 got pretty unreliable when using  lt  doctype html gt     The use of Google Chrome Frame is popular  but unfortunately it s going to be dropped sometime this month  Jan  2014    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE EDGE chrome 1  gt    Extensive related info here  The tip on using it as the first meta tag is on a previously mentioned source here  which has been updated
