Fixed – Grid can not be used in this (‘quirks’) model in jqGrid

We got the above error in an HTML Web Resource which was using jqGrid. The page was working fine in IE 10 browser only in IE 8 we got that error.

The solution was to use the following meta tag inside the HEAD tag of the html page.

<meta
http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible”
content=”IE=edge”
/>

More details on this meta tag

Hope it helps.
