Force HTML page in IE10 to use IE Quirks mode

Indulge me, I'm fighting with IE.

We have a set of pages that work nicely in IE8 (intranet). The company decided upgrading directly to IE10.

What is the html code to force a page to use I5 Quirks Mode (this is the mode it works). I've tried with :

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE5"  />

But IE10 put's the page in quirks mode (not IE5). You open the debugger (F12) and there you can change the document mode and the browser mode. The important is to set the document mode in IE5 quirks

Some help is welcomed

The problem seems to be solved somewhere else

Does the windows 8 internet explorer 10 still have quirksmode?

<meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content="IE=5">

So, your value is false, it's IE=5 and not IE=IE5

IE10 does not have an IE5 mode. They updated Quirks Mode to be more like IE9 (I think, not sure on that) so it's more in line with Chrome/Firefox/etc.. The best it can do is IE7.
