I have a page which needs to be rendered in Quirks mode for the page to be loaded properly. The problem is that the page uses valid XHTML and thus has a doctype. This forces the page to render in Standards mode in all browsers. Is there any workaround/hack that can force Quirks mode eventhough I have a doctype?

A: 

Try removing the doctype?

Then, my page does not validate!

Nor should it, if it requires a non-standard renderer.

@Ameer, so ... you want it to validate as xhtml, but not render as xhtml ... pretty weird requirement if you ask me ..

The problem is that the page does't load properly (for some unknown reason) with doctype, eventhough it is valid XHTML and CSS.

@Ameer: Then perhaps this "unknown reason" is the problem you should be addressing?

See http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ for changing the doctype to almost-standards or quirks mode.
