Should I care about IE Quirks mode?
I have just tested my website in IE quirk mode and it look awful.
Should I care abo开发者_C百科ut the IE quirk mode? And if yes is there a tool that could help my write CSS for the Quirks mode.
Update my doctype:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="da">
Should I care about the IE quirk mode?
Only insofar as you should use a Doctype that triggers Standards mode so you don't have a deal with Quirks mode.
Depends.
If you do not need to support older versions of IE, specifically 6 and maybe 7, I would ignore it.
The only reasons to support those browsers are
- because the boss/client says so.
- you have a large user base utilizing said browser.
EDIT
From the comment on @Quentin's answer... you can check how your browser is displaying by copying this into your address bar
javascript:m=(document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat')?'Standards':'Quirks';window.alert('You are in ' + m + ' mode.');
