In my html file, the code below is one the top:

HTML

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=edge,chrome=1">

My desktop IE is in version 11 but our intranet IE is in a lower version (IE 8). In case that the

JavaScript

'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View'

option is checked on, the map part of my webpage becomes not viewable. Is there a way to override the compatibility or programmatically check-off the option? Thanks.

What I have tried:

tried IE8 compatibility but not successful

No, the answer is to either tell clients it won't work in compatibility mode, or alter your css such that it does work in both modes.

You don't need three different settings for IE; just use: content="IE=edge,chrome=1"

No, you cannot override the compatibility settings. That would be a security risk if your code could control that setting.
