I am using
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9"/>
to restrict my document mode to IE 9 at server end,
this code works fine at my local server and set IE 9 as default mode but same is not working at server end.

What I have tried:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9"/>

meta tags are advisory and serve to help the browser know what you intended. They have absolutely no effect on the server code.

HTML tags have nothing to do with the server code and what it generates.

Those tags are only suggestions to the browser rendering the page. They can also be overriden by browser policy and there's nothing you can do about that.
