I'm trying to find out how to tell IE10 to stop listening to the "X-UA-Compatible" tag on websites, and do what I (the user)want it to do instead. So far I've only managed to use the developer tools to turn it of temporarily, but it always reverts back when I open up new tabs (which I do a lot, so sticking to one tab is not really an option... nor should it be). I've messed with various compatibility settings I've found, but non of them seem to affect pages where this meta tag is set.
The back-story is that I'm using a site that reverts the rendering mode to IE8 using "X-UA-Compatible", because IE9 apparently took offense to some code in there and couldn't render it properly. IE10, on the other hand, seems to have overcome that particular problem. Unfortunately, the meta tag specifies that it should use IE8, not that it should specifically avoid IE9, so now it's stuck in IE8 mode even though IE10 would work fine. (And there are a few HTML5 features on that site I'd like to see working, now that the browser can actually render them.)
So, can this be done? And if not, then why?!
Thanks.
