Microsoft HTA/Changing Internet Explorer Version

By default, HTAs display webpages in Compatibility View, this means that content is displayed in Internet Explorer 7. It's just Internet Explorer 6 but with few more features. To change IE version, you need to use  in   of page. The lastest IE version is 11, but note that IE 10 has dropped support for  settings, so if you want settings, use ie9, that support some HTML5 (for example SVG) and CSS3 (for example box-shadow) features. If you don't need settings, set ie=edge, that will render page in Microsoft Edge.

This example is SVG enabled:
