http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12072 --- Comment #7 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2011-02-16 15:38:54 UTC --- (In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #2) > > Henri, any opinion on this? > > I could live with comments before doctype being a conformance error. (I'd be > scared about actually changing mode selection though. I'd prefer IE getting > fixed eventually.) The only news in IE9beta is quirksmode in 'application/xhtml+xml'! So for example if you place this in the <head> element, then it triggers quirksmode even in 'application/xhtml+xml': <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5"/> As does the following variants (perhaps the DOCTYPE is "invisible" to IE in 'application/xhtml+xml'?): <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> Whereas these does seemingly not trigger quirksmode (don't know what other effects it has): <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /> It seems that, in 'application/xhtml+xml', then <!--[if ie]> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5" /> <![endif]--> before the DOCTYPE or between DOCTYPE and <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >, does not have any effect. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
