List all IE Browser Modes and select one

Is there a way to list all possible Browser Modes and select one that the browser will use on this web page? I need js or angular way, without jQuery, or just the tags to use in mu head section.

Thank you.

Solution

  • There is no API to determine which modes a browser supports.

    The only ways to change them, from the page itself, are:

    • By specifying a Doctype which can trigger Quirks, Standards, or Almost Standards mode depending on the browser.
    • By setting x-ua-compatible with a meta tag (IE only, and deprecated in IE11)

    As far as I know, you can't change the mode with JavaScript from within the page.
