Hmm, that might have been some unfortunate line wrapping - it's probably better to write: javascript:s='<?>';for(i=0;i<1006;++i)s+='%20';window.location='data:text/html,'+s+'<!doctype%20html><script>document.write(document.compatMode)</script>' javascript:s='<?>';for(i=0;i<1007;++i)s+='%20';window.location='data:text/html,'+s+'<!doctype%20html><script>document.write(document.compatMode)</script>' where each should be one line with no spaces. Then I get the CSS1Compat/BackCompat difference when just copying those into the location bar, in "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4" and "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070618 Minefield/3.0a6pre". (IE7 and Opera 9 don't appear to have any limit on how early the doctype should appear.) -- Philip Taylor excors at gmail.com
