IE 6 site check needed

Sent by Terry Hamel on 3 July 2007 05:05


I may have misstated myself about IE6 and XML.  I just reread Eric
Myers "picking a rendering mode" @
http://www.ericmeyeroncss.com/bonus/render-mode.html in which he
states IE6 DOES know how to render any XML mode in standards mode.

I just completed a project that required IE6 rendering and I couldn't
get it to even display until I switched all tags and DOCTYPE to HTML.
Somewhere along the way, I read that telling sending type="text/HTML"
while in XML DOCTYPE confuses IE6 (or any browser) and thus puts it
into quirks mode.  I didn't think to set it to "text/XML" and still
haven't tested it.

Sorry for the confusion, even if my suggestions will still work.  :)
