As of Internet Explorer 8, the httpEquiv attribute also supports a value of x-ua-compatible, which allows developers to specify the document compatibility mode that Internet Explorer should use to display a webpage. To do this, set the content attribute to a String value containing a comma-delimited list of one or more of the following values.
