[css-d] Can somebody explain IE quirks mode?
Hey one and all, forgive me if I sound ignorant or even stupid, but I have been looking into fixed header and footer positioning with the aim of creating a 3 column layout with needless to say fixed headers and footers and in a few of the examples I have looked at the code refers to IE and quirks mode. Can somebody explain what this means and does it affect positioning in Firefox?

Here are a few links that should explain the differences between Quirks Mode and Standards Mode and how different browsers handle them.
