Let's you have a page with a relatively strict doctype and HTML markup that's pretty close to compliant, but perhaps misses in a few silly ways that are out of your control. How can you tell (or: what will determine) when the browser decides to go into "quirks" mode rather than use it's more standards compliant engine? I'm looking ...
Basically i want to be able to make a a grid of boxes, where i can align text at the top middle and bottom of each box, and have the boxes on the same row resize when text in another box on its row pushes it down. If you look at this HTML 4 code, it achieves what i want to be able to do, but id like to be able to achieve this with the X...
I have an absolutely-positioned navigation on my menu that is sent off to the left side.* #menu { position: absolute; display:inline-block; /* I can hasLayout? */ top: 0; left: 0; width: 265px; height: 100%; background: #ffc; } html>body #menu { height: auto; min-height: 100%; } It should look some...
I'm using the Facebox jQuery plugin from FamSpam to load external page content (from the same server) into a Facebox popup. The content looks great in all browsers except IE 7. It looks like IE 7 is rendering this content the same as it renders other content when in 'Quirks Mode'. The fonts are not solid and sharp, the font that the tex...
I'm working on a page that, when I load into IE8 and view the developers tools it tells me that page default is quirks mode. I've got a strict DTD: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> I even went ahead and put in the explicit standards switch, though I didn't think I'd need to...
I'm running into a situation where IE8 appears to be dropping CSS selectors. I find this hard to believe, but I can't figure out what is happening. In a css file I have this declaration: #srp tr.objectPath.hover td { border-top:none; } However, when I inspect the file in IE8 through the built-in developer tools, the declaration i...
Hi, Does anyone have a complete list of html, javascript, and css that is buggy in quirks mode (particularly IE quirks mode)? I have checked out the quirksmode.org list at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html but it does not seem to be comprehensive. For example, I've seen some browsers have problems with frames unless you use...
i'm not using I'm only using this dtd as a first thing in a page? which has no problem to render strict mode. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> and checked quirks mode with this site http://vesa....
While viewing the HTML IE 8 sets the default document mode as IE8 Standards as it should but it enters quirks mode on an asp page. Even if I use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> it doesn't really help. What should I do? ...
I saw my pages information in IE8 Developer Tools. My Page Document Mode was Quirks Mode. What is Quirks Mode ? and How To change Document Mode ? What are the others document modes ? How can Document Mode affect the Page. ...
I have the following html code snippet :- <html> <head> <style> body ul { margin: 0px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; } ul li { display: inline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border:...
I have an html page which renders an html page in an iframe where my page adds a topbar to the whole content. Inorder to render the whole page seemless, I had to rely on quirksmode rendering of the page to display the following:(similar to the way google image results page(page u get on click of an image with a top frame)- <table> <...
I'm having a bit of trouble w/ some CSS on a page. It's valid CSS and Strict HTML. It renders fine in every* browser except for IE (I have only tried 7). Is there a way to tell if it's rendering the page in Quirks or Standard mode? I suspect it may be doing quirks mode, as that's about the only explanation I can think of. *Opera, Chrome...
I try to add a class to a td-element using javascript with the internet explorer 8 in quirks-mode. That seems to work, because I can see the added class when I view the source, but my css doens't affect it so nothing visually changes at all. I simply add a html class to change the background-color but nothing happens. It works when runni...
A bit weird... ...if running in IE8 quirks mode or in compatibility view mode, the table added by the following code doesn't render. Can anyone tell me why, because it is not obvious to me..? <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script> function AddTable() { var table = document.createElement('table'); var row = d...
I think I should use <!DOCTYPE html> for my new GWT application; I understand that doing so will put my application into standards-compliant mode. Am I correct? Are there any disadvantages to using this doctype? Does GWT work properly in standards-compliant mode? I'm wary because the GWT tutorial still uses the HTML 4.01 transitional doc...
I'm working within the parameters of an un-reachable developer, whom has created an html generation system for our products.. Whenever a new page is generated he places: <!-- updated page at 05/MAY/2010 02:58.58 --> <!-- You must use the template manager to modify the formatting of this page. --> resulting in my code looking like: <...
I have a html template as a php string. To prevent output, all blank characters and line breaks before the html opening or doctype definition should be removed. What is the simplest and fastest way to do this with PHP? ...
In this particular situation, I do not have a choice about the DOCTYPE. I cannot use one. It's a weird situation, but it is what it is. We have some CSS which uses child selectors ("p > a > span", etc.). These worked in IE7, even though we didn't have a DOCTYPE...and then they suddenly stopped working. Something we did caused IE7 to...
NOTE: When I say "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode", I'm referring to the rendering options in the menu bar of IE8's developer tools. We're noticing odd functionality on our website in Internet Explorer 8. When the user clicks the "Add to Cart" button, the jQuery .load() method is called to request a new webpage that is then placed ins...
