They might not have answered but they did implement it http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/doctype/index.dml Overriding the DOCTYPE Switch Normally the DOCTYPE Switch determines which mode is used, but you can set Opera to always use Standards Mode or always use Quirks Mode by setting one of these lines in the opera6.ini file: Always Quirks Mode: CompatMode Override=1 Always Standards Mode: CompatMode Override=2 If you design Web pages, setting Opera to always using Standards Mode will help you see how a page will look like in a browser not supporting DOCTYPE switching. BTW does this mean that Opera6 (eg on mobile phones and PDAs) does not do DOCTYPE switching? -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
