Daniel, IE 6 does have something "like" a standards mode - it's not really standards compliant, but it does behave differently, when putting it into that mode. That's because, when it's in quirks mode, then it behaves like IE 5.5. See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html for more details.
As far as I can tell, the new layout panels of GWT 2.x are designed to also work on IE6 in its "standards" mode - sometimes by emulating CSS properties with javascript. @Ata: Try to use <!DOCTYPE html> (note the uppercase DOCTYPE). Make sure, that it's the very first thing in the document (no comments or anything in front of it!) On Jun 10, 2:28 pm, Daniel Le Clere <[email protected]> wrote: > Ummm...
