title: Force document mode=IE8 Standards
body: <p>So I am having problems getting IE8 to not default to IE7 document mode, as our intranet is set up.</p>
  
  <p>I am using IE dev tools to set plus a little bit of js to check what the browser is reporting the document mode to be.</p>
  
  <p>I won't be able to change any settings other than what markup I can give. In otherwords I'm not an admin, the only control I have is within the browser. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this does not change how the document mode is reported, it still reported as IE7.</p>
