Thanks Tim,

A similar thing appears on the FF 'Web Developers Toolbar' [1] at the 
far right. It shows a green tick for 'standard compliant mode' and red 
cross for 'quirks mode'. I not sure what happens in 'almost standard 
mode'.

Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

Is the web developer toolbar you are referencing the one from
http://www.my-debugbar.com

Or, would that be the F12 Developer Tools thing in the IE8?

Or, is there another developer tool for ie8 that you are referring to?

Normally I do all my development in Firefox, so any clues about
developer tools for IE would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Claude

If you use IE8 and the web developer toolbar there is an area on the  
top right of the bar that describes 'Document mode'. This shows what  
the default document mode is. You can also use it to switch modes.

You can also find out via javascript with document.compatMode

Cheers, Tim
