IE8 Compatibility issue

I want only IE8 to work with compatibility mode. But I couldn't do it by using the first way below:

First way: (It doesn't work)

    <!--[if IE 8]>
        <com:TMetaTag HttpEquiv="X-UA-Compatible" Content="IE=EmulateIE7" />  
    <![endif]-->

Second way: 

<script type="text/javascript">
     var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

     if($j.browser.msie && $j.browser.version == "8.0")
     {
         alert("<com:TMetaTag HttpEquiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" Content=\"IE=EmulateIE7\" /> ");
     }

</script>

Now I am trying to echo the meta tag by using jquery like above. But I don't know how to do that? So I alert it to show you the problem clearly.

Note: I am using a php framework named by prado. So the tag element is a little bit different like (<com:TMetaTag...)

Using Javascript, you would use the 

document.write()

Method to write directly into the HTML.

Edit: Didn't see you were using JQuery. This is probably a safer way of doing things:

$("head").append('<com:TMetaTag HttpEquiv="X-UA-Compatible" Content="IE=EmulateIE7" />')

IE8 in compatibility mode is going to recognize as IE7.

Try

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
