I have a page I'm converting from quirks mode to strict mode. I added this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/DTD/strict.dtd"> All of a sudden all my tables collapsed that use cellpadding and cellspacing. The page looks fine in IE7 but has collapsed in Firefox. Is this expected? By us...
I have a peculiar situation where I am only given control of the contents of a document's <body>. The host, I assume in an effort to remain flexible, is not declaring a doctype which will throw IE into quirks mode immediately. With my limited control over the document, what can I do to force IE to render the page in standards mode? ...
I've been trying to figure this out for over a day now, so any help would be appreciated. I have a Suckerfish menu that's made up of ul/li's. I'm trying to add some top down scroll indicators to my menu. In my example I have a blue and green indicator which are just placed inside the menu for now. These indicators are just another LI ins...
I am working with a web application that is designed to run on IE quirksmode (it was initially designed a few years ago). I was trying to do something with absolute positioning in it, but it did not work as I expected. I have a simplified example illustrating my issue. Please see below. <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <div...
I'm working on setting up a page and am having difficulty with getting it to look well across browsers (actually just IE, as it renders properly for mozilla and webkit). I'm wanting to rule out quirks mode before seriously considering old IE bugs fixed since IE6. The container page has a declared doctype, however the iframe code does not...
I have just taken over maintenance of a large web application which is over 10,000 lines of Javascript. At the moment it runs on Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+ and Chrome and I have to make it work with IE8. I am a very experienced programmer but I only have a little Javascript experience - although I have been introduced to the dubious pleas...
For nearly a decade i've been using: document.body.scrollHeight to return the "ideal" height of the browser window. This worked fine when i was forcing Internet Explorer into quirks mode, by using a quirks-mode doctype: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> Now i want to opt into standards mode, except the...
Hi folks, I read that if the DOCTYPE is not corectly set IE6 will enter Quirks mode. I have given a document HTML 4.01 Transitional, but how do I know if IE6 triggers Quirks mode or not? ...
I have created a webpage (http://www.snow4life.yum.pl) that was rendered properly in firefox, chrome etc. Of course dumb IE complicated things, because it enters quirk mode automatically, even though doctype is properly set and site goes through w3 validation (there is one error of missing some char, but file was cleared in hex editor). ...
A similar question has been addressed with WebBrowser Control however I'd like to ask how to directly manipulate document modes with a VBS initialized/controlled instance of InternetExplorer.Application - or how to apply the registry fix in the above mentioned post to this scenario. Currently I'm employing a rather poor solution of simu...
I have a page that's not displaying correctly in ie8 quirks mode. If I want to create some CSS to target just that mode, but not ie8 normally, what would be the conditional HTML? For example, if I wanted to just hit ie8: <!--[if IE 8]> awesome hacky stuff goes here <![endif]--> So what is the IE 8 part for ie8 quirks? ...
