Support embedded IE document mode compatibility (FI-1453)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it.
The embedded Internet Explorer control that we're using renders web page using document mode with IE7 mode by default (even if IE11 is installed). Without this meta tag X-UA-Compatible included on the web page, it will not be rendered using the highest document mode of the browser IE11 which leads to JavaScript errors and content not rendered properly.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented
Add this meta tag to this page, as the first tag in the <head> section.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
Describe alternatives you've considered
Based on this Microsoft doc, it is also possible to set this X-UA-Compatible as a header in the response.
Hello @kolkheang Can you check if this work around works for you?
https://github.com/onc-healthit/inferno-program/issues/235#issuecomment-779470256
Hi @yunwwang - the workaround opens a standalone IE browser. The app that we have is a Windows app that uses an embedded IE browser.
The tag above will render the app in a document mode so that this app can be launched and rendered properly embedded.
What's your concern? Within IE dev tools, there is a tab for testing compatibility. You can test out the change using that tool by setting to document mode and IE=edge to see how the page is rendered.
@kolkheang Just wondering if the work around could help. We are migrating Inferno Program to new platform. I labelled this as an additional feature need to be migrated. Thanks.
Thanks @yunwwang . The work around helps but the experience is disjointed and requires manual steps. It would be awesome to have this app works inside of an EHR, embedded.
Do you have a timeline of when v2 will be available?
I merged in this PR because it is a very superficial change and could help people running v1.9 locally. But we are not planning on any more official releases on 1.x if possible, and strongly encourage using v2.x at https://github.com/onc-healthit/onc-certification-g10-test-kit. Have you tried that out version yet to see if the same problem occurs for you there?
