HTML - Quirks Mode
Hey everyone,
I'm a starting web developer and i build a website that work fine on IE8 until I saw on the developer tools that there is something call Quirks mode and IE8 Standard and when i change it to IE8 from Quirks it's look like a mess!! Can anyone tell me what is Quirks mode?! Similar TutorialsI'm coding a site to be compatible with IE7 and up. It all looks great in just HTML5, but as soon as I try adding the XHTML doctype and stuff, IE goes into quirks mode. I've looked into it as much as I can. Here's what I think it should be along with PHP setting the MIME type: HTML Code: <?php header('Content-Type: application/xml;charset=UTF-8'); ?>
<?php echo '<?';?>xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?php echo '<?';?>xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ie-xhtml-fix.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head><meta charset="UTF-8" />
Then ie-xhtml-fix.xsl, from http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#ie, is: Code: <stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<template match="/">
<copy-of select="."/>
</template>
</stylesheet>
I've tried every combination I could think of, but nothing works. It fully validates XHTML5 in w3.org's validator as it is. Can anyone help figure it out? Thank you. hello my schools email system can be accessed from outside but it rellies upon Internet Explorer quirks mode, I would like to try to force Firefox 3 into standards mode, or almost standards mode to see if it will work it does work in Opera and Firefox 2, so it isn't that urgent but I am interested if it is possible to override the doctype the problem is when I try to login it just gives an 'error has occured', it does use https though so that could be a problem thanks for the help, keeperofdakeys IE6 and 7 are giving me some problems when I check with them to make sure that everything is displaying correctly as it does in FireFox. I made a post about this a while ago (http://www.htmlforums.com/html-xhtml...tch-91890.html). I just want to know the things to know for designing a website with DIVs. From what I can tell so far -- IE tends to leave excessive vertical space between two DIVs that are stacked on top of eachother. IE also seems to have quirks when it comes to stacking DIVs side by side. For example: if two DIVs within a container DIV are side by side with no padding, margins or borders with whatever width in pixels that equal the width of the container DIV -- IE will for some reason add extra width to each of the two DIVs making them align one on top of the other instead of being layed out side by side. What must I do!? I've had problems in the past trying to get IE6 to display DIVs the same way as FF and IE7 displays them. So I recently decided to make a "skeleton" page just for the header section as a fresh start and I still can't figure out how to appease ol' IE6. I want the two DIVs to be side by side. But they aren't See what I mean: http://www.innotechnutrition.com/seeessess.php The CSS Code: body {
text-align: center;
}
#container { /* does IE6 not like the line breaks? */
width: 770px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#header {
width: 770px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#headerLeft {
width: 50%;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 1px solid #000; /* this won't show in IE6 for some reason */
background: #ccc; /* this won't work either */
}
#headerRight {
width: 50%;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 1px dotted #000; /* this don't show in IE6 for some reason */
background: #333; /* this won't work either */
}

Anybody know if the IE 8 compatibility mode does a high enough fidelity job replicating IE 7 behavior that we can effective use it as a substitute for testing web sites in IE 7 itself? I can change the font size in <pre> mode ,but how do you change the font type in <pre> mode ?? I want comic sanserif I'm looking for an html editor where i can click and follow hyperlinks under edit mode. This can be done in Microsoft Word: if one creates a bookmark within the html document, and a hyperlink to that bookmark, then clicking on the hyperlink will take you to the location of the bookmark when editing the document. Is there a windows/mac html editor, other than Word, with this capability? Thanks Beyond placing the ringtone on a website in an audio format for download and hoping your visitor knows how to apply it; is there any way to say have a box to type in your number, the visitor types their number in, and their phone gets a call ~ with a box exclaiming, "Would you like to download and install this ringtone"? Want: ability to type, right on the webpage, phone number, and for it call their phone and begin download/installation of a ringtone? Thanks a lot =)! Hi all, i want to play the downloaded flv videos in offfline mode in HTML. I already done with online playing in HTML like youtube videos play in browser. But I have downloaded few videos and i want to play those videos in offline mode(without internet) by giving compelete path in Windows/Mac. Can anyone help in this case??? Thank You all.. Hello all! Does anybody noticed that font colors are treated as background color while printing in IE? I just set a <font color=#f0f0f0>MY TEST</font> or <span style="color: #f0f0f0">MY TEST</span> and, on screen, it's OK. On print preview, it goes black. I can print in grayscale only if I turn "print background images and colors" on. Does anybody has a workaround on it? It will be a watermark, so it should be printed in grayscale. I dont think I'm setting a background color, specially on first example (color of the font). Thanks! |
