Some browsers including Mac IE in some versions have multiple rendering
modes. A Google search will probably turn up other documentation. Here
is a start:

I think you can get help with Mac IE in the
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets newsgroup on Usenet and on
the Mac IE talk mailing list.
