Hi Richard, thanks for the reference. I didn't know about the compatMode parameter, which seems to be a reliable test for IE6 strict mode.
But according to: http://developer.apple.com/internet/_html/doctype.html this test: this.strict=(document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat"||(document.doctype&&document. doctype.name.indexOf(".dtd")==-1))?true:false; doesn't catch the following Mac case: " <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> This DOCTYPE claims that the document is a strict document; that is, it is authored according to a strict adherence to the W3C specification, and uses no presentational markup (like <FONT>). Upon seeing this, IE5/Mac will kick its rendering engine into standards mode, so that your document will be displayed according to the W3C standards." The possible combinations of (platform * browser * compatibility mode) is growing exponentially. Doesn't make our life easier...
