Open task in grunt-contrib-connect specifying the browser mode and document mode in appName parameter

Question

I am using nodeJS to automate my javascript web app developement, and I always has to ensure the app works fine in all browsers including IE >=8 , now I have IE10 installed on my laptopn ,and I am using grunt-contrib-connect package to open the app in multiple browsers using the connect task like this

connect: {
      server: {
        options: {
          keepalive: true,
          port: 3001,
          hostname: 'localhost',
          base: '.',
          index: 'fab_1-3.app.htm',
          open: {
              target: 'http://localhost:3001/fab_1-3.app.htm',
              appName: 'iexplore'
          }
        }
      }
    }

Now , what I want is it to open in IE specifying the document mode and browser mode as well(using nodeJS/grunt) , is it possible to do that ?

Thanks in advance!

Use the following process:

• Install the windows module via npm

• Set the document mode via one of the following registry keys:

  • FEATURE_NATIVE_DOCUMENT_MODE

• Set the browser mode via JsRoboKey
