Apache vs Meta tags for specific IE Mode emulation?
<p>I have seen two popular options to force IE to open an HTML in a particular mode:</p>

<p>1) <code>&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /&gt;</code></p>

<p>2) Specify it as a Header in <code>httpd.conf</code></p>

<p>What are the advantages of either of these options? Is there a recommended approach to do this?</p>

<p>Most applications I have seen use Apache as a load balancer and it usually handles a request to <code>www.url.com</code> and sends it to one of possible application servers. Here anyway accessing the IP directly would not get the benefit of emulation because no Headers are set. Meta tag solves the problem closer than Apache does? So isn't that the better way to set a specific emulation or does Apache approach have other benefits?</p>
