Try changing the DOCTYPE to:

<DOCTYPE html>

And then try adding this meta tag into the <head> of your document:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>

This meta tag should force IE into standards mode, you can find more information about it here.

You should end up with something that looks like:

<DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Page Title</title>
        <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Content</p>
    </body>
</html>

Thanx for your reply ..but i need your one clarification..if my browser by default set IE 8 Compatibility mode and also i can't change standard mode manually in all 100 system..in that case it convert automatically compatibility mode to standard mode.. – May 14 '14 at 10:57
It should hopefully yes, unless the user sets it to compatability mode after the page has loaded. – Sean May 14 '14 at 11:19
Although I'm not 100% sure though, and I don't currently have access to machines for testing this, sorry. – Sean May 14 '14 at 11:20
Thanx man for your valuable feedback ..i really appreciate for that ..cheers..:) – May 14 '14 at 11:45
No problem, glad I could be of assistance :) – Sean May 14 '14 at 12:16
Warning: this tag needs to be placed before all other elements (except for the title element and other meta elements) – Giovanni P. Jan 28 '17 at 09:46
