Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses?

I'm trying to build sites that will work in both Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and in more standards compliant browsers. It helps alot if Internet Explorer is not using Quirks mode for those sites, but I can't find where I can see what mode it uses, and thus I'm never really sure about the mode it has chosen to render. Does anyone know how I could find that out?

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? http://msdn.microsoft.com/.../compatmode.asp I also found a favlet, but I can't seem to get than one working - it would be more useful though. http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/6361.htm posted by Bjarke Soerensen on Jan 28, 2007 7:26 PM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? cool, will experiment with those and report back! posted by Maarten Stolte on Jan 28, 2007 9:46 PM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? works like a charm, I used it as a favelet too, so that works, even in IE7, Firefox (where i dont need it cause of the webdevel toolbar but still...) and Opera posted by Maarten Stolte on Jan 29, 2007 5:51 PM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? Great! I wonder how you did though. Then again, I don't have IE, so it's harder to test. posted by Bjarke Soerensen on Jan 30, 2007 5:34 AM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? its just a matter of making a favorite, and editing the url to the javascript: string. Ignore any warnings about it from IE and it'll work. I think its also explained in the 2nd link you gave posted by Maarten Stolte on Jan 30, 2007 8:52 AM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? I tried that - I've got another favlet working, but this one wont work. Still I just tried with FF as it says it should work with that too.. posted by Bjarke Soerensen on Jan 31, 2007 6:03 AM

Re: Help; Can I see what rendering mode Internet Explorer uses? Anonymous: thanks for the link, I knew the site and adding a link to it in itself is not really useful; is there a part of it that explains this as well? posted by Maarten Stolte on Feb 22, 2007 9:17 AM
