This is the template I use for maximum IE compatibility. IE has many options in the registry that will further confuse the issues, but these pink lines may help.
<!DOCTYPE html> Needs an doctype, this one has least problems
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" /> Needs an charset
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge;chrome=1" /> Force standards
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> Old IE gets 1.10
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script> new IE gets 2.0
<!--<![endif]-->
<script>
$(function(){
})
