Does using an HTML 5 Doctype cause Quirks mode in modern browsers, since HTML5 isn t out yet?
(That is Modern Browsers were out before HMTL5 started spreading, so they don t properly support it.)
If yes, does this mean that the HTML 5 Doctype is tentatively like none at all?
EDIT: If not, what does it do in browsers that don t support and the like?
No it doesn t, see this article.
What s nice about this new DOCTYPE, especially, is that all current browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Safari) will look at it and switch the content into standards mode - even though they don t implement HTML5. This means that you could start writing your web pages using HTML5 today and have them last for a very, very, long time.
According to Wikipedia table (that I love) HTML 5 DOCTYPE triggers full standard mode for:
FF, Chrome, Opera 7.5+, Safari, Konqeror 3.5+ and also IE8!!!
and triggers Almost standard mode [*] for:
IE6 and IE7
So it s definitely the best DOCTYPE ever created!
"One DOCTYPE to bring them all and in the darkness bind them..." [Lords of the rings]
[*] "Almost standards" does NOT make such a big difference to full standard mode, in the same Wikipedia link above you can find more details.
No it does not.
