I've had the "pleasure" of working on such a site client-side with no option to touch the HTML at all. Unfortunately, I didn't find such a solution either (also - the main excuse for not having one was that the site was already "working" and such a change would break it, so revoking the quirks mode would have done more harm than good)... Another half-baked reason - assume you want to use border-box box-sizing, being able to invoke quirks mode on IE6-7 would result in a similar behavior (not that I think this is a good idea - just saying - there's always wierd ways to answer the why question :) ) -- Arieh Glazer אריה גלזר 052-5348-561 http://www.arieh.co.il http://www.link-wd.co.il -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
