How do I switch to IE8 compatibility mode in IE9?

Question

As title says - I need a way of viewing a page in IE8 compatibility mode. The option to do this isn't found in developer tools and I can't seem to find any compatilibty settings in the browser's tool menu.

Add the following line of text as first dom element after 'head' element.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">

Can also switch to "IE=EmulateIE7" to emulate IE7.
