Hello! I was just beginning to read through the W3C's docs on XHTML 1.1 and noticed the following example they provide of an XHTML 1.1 strict document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" > <head> <title>Virtual Library</title> </head> <body> <p>Moved to <a href="http://vlib.org/";>vlib.org</a>.</p> </body> </html>
While they do state the XML declaration is not required, they urge its use.
My questions is: doesn't the XML declaration send IE6 (Windows) into "quirks mode" if it's present? It seems like I read that recently. Can anyone verify?
Yes it does, create a testcase to see it yourself.
Example:
#testdiv {
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: green;
}The green rectangle should be 120px in standards mode.
