KendoUI controls not working in all browser versions

Recently we faced a strange problem with KendoUI controls. While most of the controls were working fine, KendoUI tab control was not working in all versions of Internet Explorer. It was loading fine on first page load but when we tried to click any other tab, nothing was happening. After quite a bit of research, we found a simple solution to the problem.

Add following tag in your HTML file -

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=EDGE" />

This will ensure that your HTML code works fine in all browsers as required. Especially the latest browser that you are using.

Apart from this solution, we also recommend to use latest version of Kendo UI controls as far as possible. We were using one year old version of Kendo UI (2014 Q2) while the latest version was 2015 Q3 SP1. Kendo is very good in fixing minor bugs like these in their progressive releases. So its always a better idea to use the latest version.
