One thing I've found useful on many occasions is to create a bookmarklet
(or favelet, if you prefer) with the following code as the URL:
javascript:alert(document.compatMode)
and stick it on my Links toolbar. Whatever site you're on, click the link
and it will display "BackCompat" for quirks mode, and "CSS1Compat" if the
page is in standards mode (assuming JavaScript is enabled in the browser).
This also works in Firefox (but probably not in Opera).
Regards,
Nick.
