When necessary, GWT's code will ask the browser/document's mode
(standards vs. quirks) and make some adjustments; you don't have to do
anything apart telling the browser which mode it should use by
specifying the appropriate doctype (or no doctype at all) and/or add a
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"> for IE8.
I highly recommend reading http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype
For the moment however, GWT works slightly better in quirks mode than
in standards mode (AFAICT there are issues with SplitPanel and
DockPanel; if you don't use them, you can safely use standards mode).
And remember that if you have to support IE6, it has no doctype
sniffing and is equivalent to the "quirks mode" of IE7.
