There does not seem to be anywhere to advise Google about problems with the web site, so I thought making a post here might be helpful (apologies in advance if it is not).
In the GWT tutorial (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tutorials/1.6/ create.html) this section: Selecting Quirks Mode vs. Standards Mode To provide better cross-browser compatibility, GWT sets the doctype declaration to HTML 4.01 Transitional. This sets the rendering engine to "Standards Mode". If you remove this line, the page will be rendered in "Quirks Mode", which means that all of the old browser bugs will still be present. In some cases, for example if you are integrating with an application that relies on some of the browser- specific bugs being present, you might want to use "Quirks Mode". says the opposite of the comments in the actual code: <!-- The HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE declaration--> <!-- above set at the top of the file will set --> <!-- the browser's rendering engine into --> <!-- "Quirks Mode". Replacing this declaration --> <!-- with a "Standards Mode" doctype is supported, --> <!-- but may lead to some differences in layout. --> According to the Wikipedia article on the subject (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode) the transitional document WITHOUT a system identifier (as is used in the tutorial) is setting quirks mode. WITH a system identifier ("http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"; in the DOCTYPE tag), standards mode is used.
