I have this question and this one and also this one. Unfortunately it appears that they do not work for me.
I've also looked at the Microsoft docs, to no avail.
I have tried a couple of things.
I added <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5"> to my head. I added <!DOCTYPE html> to the beginning of my document along with the meta tag. Still no dice. The only thing that happens is it goes into Document Mode: Quirks:
However, this does not work. My page is broken. But when I select IE5 quirks:
Everything works. For whatever value of works actually renders the page.
Though, things are a little bit more bizarre, because the page works just fine in Chrome and Firefox.
Oh, wow. Apparently it also works with
IE8 standards.
Changing it to content="IE=8" or content="IE=EmulateIE8" also appears not to work.
What am I doing wrong??

Procedure. In your Internet Explorer web browser, press F12 to open the Developer Tools window. Click Browser Mode and select the version of your web browser. Click Document Mode, and select the Internet Explorer standards for your Internet Explorer release.
Document Mode is what the browser uses to render the page: IE9, IE8, IE7 or Quirks. Browser Mode sets how the browser identifies itself to the web server and to JavaScript.
Leave the DTD off and add the following in the <head>:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5">

Tested as working in IE11 on Win 8.1 and IE10 on Win 7.
