Based on some the answers below, can you be more specific as to what the page needs? As Avidev notes, you can set the docType attribute to specify the actual HTML doctype. As jkraybill and Mohith point out - you can set a meta tag which will have some browsers (like IE) behave like a specific version.– joshbirkMar 5, 2013 at 13:43

There is a docType attribute in <apex:page> component you can set that to html-5.0
For Example
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" />

This does answer the question as it's phrased, but the solution is as per Jeremy's answer. It might be prudent to update the question to demonstrate why it renders incorrectly in IE.– Matt Lacey ♦Mar 5, 2013 at 1:08
I think you'll find the answer on this question helpful, it involves setting the X-UA-Compatible header via Apex. IE10 Forced into IE7 Standards document mode for Visualforce

One alternative is always adding the metatag
<head>
<title>The Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
</head>

No Mohit above code doesn't change the document mode of IE to standards value.– user1087Mar 2, 2013 at 13:07

Document Mode is overridden by the compatibility mode in IE.The compatibility mode along with doctype set determines the document mode.You may like to read the stackoverflow.com/questions/2950598/…. my answer explains how to change compactibility mode and Aridev one gives how to set doctype.Using combination of those you must reach to answer Mar 2, 2013 at 14:33
To enable standards mode, you can include the html DOCTYPE declaration in a Visualforce page using an unescaped apex:outputText element at the beginning of the page, but it only works up until API version 26.0.
<apex:page contentType="text/html" docType="html" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardStylesheets="false">
<apex:outputText escape="false" value="<!DOCTYPE html>"/>
<body onload="document.write((document.compatMode === 'CSS1Compat' ? 'Standards' : 'Quirks') + ' Mode');">
</body>
</apex:page>
Set the apiVersion in your metadata:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ApexPage xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<!-- Version CANNOT be greater than 26.0 to set doctype -->
<apiVersion>26.0</apiVersion>
<label>Doctype Example</label>
</ApexPage>
