Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Based on the documentation on that site:

Internet Explorer 7 and 6 don't have a real non-quirks mode, it is similar to the limited quirks mode of the other browsers. IE 5.5 and before only have a quirks mode.

It is because the author is letting his dislike of Internet Explorer stop him from using the accepted terminology for the rendering modes of that browser. IE6 Standards/Strict Mode isn't "good enough" so he calls it "Limited Quirks Mode"

Answer 2

+3 A:

Your doctype is fine..

The problem lies with a specific bug (IE6 double margin on floated elements) you are dealing in your other post.. See there for an answer to the problem ..

Answer 3

A:

Check here:

http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html 1 - this is the right link.

Check the Compatibility Master Table. Do you HAVE to make it work for IE6? I would suggest trying to convince the client that IE6 is not a browser to use.

Aside from that, use 4.01 Strict and make sure you validate you pages.

That table says nothing about how to trigger quirks / standards modes.
