""" Configures how windows internet explorer renders the webpage by setting the
user agenet compatability mode to edge.
Internet Explorer uses a browser and document mode to determine how to
render a web page. Without the X-UA-Compatible header, Internet Explorer will attempt
to pick the rendering mode based a number of different criteria. This may result in a
web page running in IE8 or IE9 rendering as if it were in IE7.
Setting the X-UA-Compatible header ensures that Internet Explorer always renders
the page as the latest version of the browser it is being viewed in.
