ridgehkr / kill_compatibility_mode.html
Created May 7, 2013 13:17
Use this code in your document head to disable Compatibility Mode in IE 9 and older while still getting IE version classes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en' class='no-js'>
<head>
<meta content='IE=edge,chrome=1' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'>
<!-- title, other meta, style, and script tags follow here -->
<!-- if you need detection for >= IE10, use my script here: https://gist.github.com/ridgehkr/5985810 -->
</head>
<!--[if IE 7]> <body class="ie7 lt-ie9 lt-ie8"> <![endif]-->
