Hi all, I wound my doctype back to html 4 transitional (remember html 4? Man, those were the days..), validated the code, removed some errors (the Google Mini output code is less than semantic, to put it mildly) and now IE7 and FF render the page in strict/standards mode. IE7 now doesn't honou

If you have a valid doctype with nothing (or whitespace) on the preceding lines then there's no reason why it should be rendering in quirks mode, I've never experienced this in IE7 anyway. Do you have a link? > -Original Message- > From: listdad@webstandardsgroup.org > [mailto:[EMAIL PR

Hi all, I have a page which should be rendering in standards mode in IE7 (i.e.: it has a doctype and doesn't have the xml prolog). According to Chris Wilson the * html hack should not apply in this case (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/15/467901.aspx) What I'm finding is that IE7 is a
