Internet explorer automatically switches to “Quirks mode” when a web page is opened
afresh. Because of this, the menu (nice-menu in drupal) is broken and there are no child elements for the parent menu.
The doctype I use is :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
But,when I set the “Document Mode” standards to “IE 8 or IE 7 standards” the menu works fine.
Can anybody please help!
Thanks
It is difficult, without source to tell you why quirks mode is being selected. Honestly even with source it is a bit of a crap shoot. You can force IE into a specific mode by setting the X-UA-Compatible header or metatag. Take a look at brandonjp’s answer on Force IE compatibility mode off using tags for some examples.
Ideally, though, you should fix the code which is triggering quirks mode.
