N6 employs DOCTYPE switching, which will respond to one set of
DOCTYPEs with a strict and correct interpretation of the code (which
is likely why your page is breaking) and another set of DOCTYPEs with
"Quirks" mode, which is forgiving to kludge code built for pre-N6
Navigator.  If you like, send me the code off-list and I'll show you
what's breaking in N6.
