I have a newbie question. I'm aware from discussion here that IE may run
in "quirks mode" depending on how the html document is set up. But, it
wasn't until viewing a css tutorial on lynda.com that I saw a specific
way to prevent (most) IE quirks. Author Bill Weinman suggests the
following code at the top of each html document. I've made the change
throughout my site, but I want a second opinion about whether this is
best practice. Thank you.
(I noticed that after I made this change and opened ea page, Dreamweaver
showed an alert that it had added a closing space and forward slash to
many of my tags. Mostly in the head, but also with images and some code
that embeds a Flash object for playing mp3 files. I'm curious as to why
it did that.)
