I'd need to add the following meta tag as the first tag ( right after <head> )
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">


Where would I add this at?

The IE=edge meta tag actually does have the be the first element after the <head> tag otherwise it does not work. I found out that you can add it in the template manager "After <head>" section.

Hi Dustin,

You can put your code in tpls/block/head.php file

When you put it in head.php it still does not load it as the first meta tag. I need it to load right after the opening <head> tag otherwise it does not work:




<!DOCTYPE html>

<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7 com_content view-featured itemid-101 home  HIMhome j25"> <![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="lt-ie9 lt-ie8 com_content view-featured itemid-101 home  HIMhome j25"> <![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="lt-ie9 com_content view-featured itemid-101 home  HIMhome j25"> <![endif]-->

<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html lang="en-gb" dir="ltr" class='com_content view-featured itemid-101 home  HIMhome j25'> <!--<![endif]-->



  <head>

      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

  <meta name="generator" content="Joomla! - Open Source Content Management" />

  <title>Home</title>


If I add it to the top of head.php like you suggest it still only loads before the "META FOR IOS & HANDHELD" but after all of the stylesheets and scripts.

Hi Dustin,

It does not really matter the position of that meta as long as it still be inside <head>.
If you want to put it right after <head> you can insert it in tpls/*.php files.

More advanced solutions will be use Joomla setMetaData.
