Most often, browsers determine which rendering mode to use based on the
presence of a Document Type Declaration
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Declaration> in the page; if
a full DOCTYPE is present, the browser will use standards mode, and if
it is absent the browser will use quirks mode. For example, a web page
which began with the following DOCTYPE would trigger standards mode:
|<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/DTD/strict.dtd";>|
While this DOCTYPE (which does not contain either the version of HTML in
use, or the URL <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL> of an HTML Document
Type Definition
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition>), would trigger
quirks mode:
|<!DOCTPE html PUBLIC>|
Additionally, a web page which does not include a DOCTYPE at all will
render in quirks mode.
One notable exception to this is Microsoft
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft>'s Internet Explorer
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer> 6 browser, which will
render a page in quirks mode if the DOCTYPE is preceded by an XML
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML> declaration, regardless of whether a
full DOCTYPE is specified. Thus an XHTML
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML> page which begins with the
following code would be rendered in quirks mode by IE 6:
|<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>|
