I am using white-space: pre-wrap. Content is not being wrapped in IE in Quirk mode.

Is there any solution to get it working for quirk mode?

Note: It is working fine in strict mode of IE8 and IE9.

    Quirks mode is for backwards compatibility with very old browsers like IE5, which do not comply with standards (aka strict) mode. The pre-wrap property is supported in IE8 and higher, but not IE 5-7:

    In this situation, there are two options:

    • Don’t support browsers that are non-compliant with w3 standards
    • Send incompatible IE versions a different stylesheet using IE conditionals
