[css-d] IE Compatibility mode - forced to not appear
This a little of topic, but still css related. :) I'm desperate. :) Indeed. Any known way to force the browser to not use compatibility mode at all ? (without going to each bad browser users and yelling at them that, despite not being there fault on such a stupid decision, they still shouldn't use it) ? :) k. regards, mem __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Won't the correct DTD (e.g., HTML 4.01 Strict) accomplish that ? mem wrote: This a little of topic, but still css related. :) I'm desperate. :) Indeed.

Re: [css-d] IE Compatibility mode - forced to not appear
Ah, can't help you there. From a purely personal perspective, I see no point in using HTML 5 until there is a formal, ratified, W3C specification for it, rather than (as at present) a work in progress, intend[ed] to replace HTML 3.2, HTML 4, and XHTML 1.x.

Ahhh .htaccess file. Seems to be the right place to go for such a bad behavior. I will use that indeed.

Re: [css-d] IE Compatibility mode - forced to not appear
Any known way to force the browser to not use compatibility mode at all ? (without going to each bad browser users and yelling at them that, despite not being there fault on such a stupid decision, they still shouldn't use it) ? Use meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=edge and this will keep the Compatibility button from appearing in the browser address bar. While true that anyone that knows how can hit F12 and start the Developer window which allows them to switch document modes; I wouldn't worry. [] As far as HTML5 usage; using what is currently available or not is up to you. Here is what I know, HTML5 is still in Draft form and so is HTML Living Standard HTML5 is expected to reach the Candidate Recommendation stage during 2012. I had read that this would actually be 2022 and based on noises by Adobe about parts like canvas which threaten Flash to some degree and the fact that this is such a big project, like CSS3, that I expect we will continue to see parts hit CR/browser support. Now, because it is still in draft it means that using it on production sites is a gamble. One may find themselves suddenly needing to go back and rewrite their sites (the amount would depend on how many sites you have used said draft for) because the spec they used was completely dropped. FWIW and IMHO if the major browsers are supporting it and it is widely used then the chances of it being completely dropped are near 0. I too, had decided that I would avoid using HTML5 while in draft until I realized that in doing so I was leaving myself and my services stuck in the past. My Golden Rule for anything web related is this: If it isn't supported by the major browsers then it doesn't exist yet. I use the sites below to check if something I might want to use is fully supported yet: [] http://html5readiness.com/ http://www.css3.info __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
