I have no idea!): [ulist]* IE<7 --> Quirks mode (identical to IE7 Quirks it seems) * IE=7 --> IE7 Standards mode * IE>=8 --> IE8 Standards mode * IE=edge --> Best possible (i.e. IE8 Standards mode)[/ulist] If not X-UA-Compatible is present, it goes down the DOCTYPE sniffing route, with:[ulist] * unknown DOCTYPES that triggered Standards mode in IE7 will trigger IE8 Standards mode in IE8. * known DOCTYPES that triggered Standards mode in IE7 will trigger IE7 Standards mode in IE8. * known DOCTYPES, or lack of DOCTYPE, that triggered Quirks mode in IE7 will trigger Quirks mode in IE8.[/ulist] -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]\|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]\|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"}; [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/5032]liorean[/url] on 03-08-2008 02:27)[/small] Loading...
