I've never heard of this Quirks mode. Do you have any favorite source on the topic that I can read? I am really interested in making my pages/code proper.

'Quirks mode' is what we call the non-standardized ways of rendering -
laying out - web pages, from before there were such a thing as widely
accepted web standards.

The two main 'quirks modes':
- Netscape.
- Microsoft.

Older versions of any browser have nothing but 'quirks mode', and will
lay out pages (more or less) in line with either the 'Netscape' or the
'Microsoft' model.

Later browser versions will switch from old 'quirks mode' to 'standard
compliant mode' - if they recognize the 'doctype'...

...and (hopefully) line up with the appropriate W3C model.
