This article was updated to reflect the fact that IE7 no longer flips into quirks mode when an XML declaration is used. For a detailed list of changes read the full post. <\/p>\n

The following paragraphs were changed as shown by the ins and del markup.<\/p>\n

<p>In browsers such as <ins>Internet Explorer 7, Firefox,<\/ins><del>Mozilla<\/del>, Netscape, Opera, and others, with or without the XML declaration, a page served with a DOCTYPE declaration will be rendered in standards mode.<\/p>
\n<p> With Internet Explorer<ins> 6<\/ins>, however, if anything appears before the DOCTYPE declaration the page is rendered in quirks mode. <\/p>
\n<p>Because Internet Explorer <ins> 6<\/ins> users <ins>still<\/ins> count for a very large proportion of browser users, this is a significant issue. If you want to ensure that your pages are rendered in the same way on all standards-compliant browsers, you need to think carefully about how you deal with this.<\/p>
\n<p>The presence of an XML declaration in an XHTML 1.0 file served as HTML will cause your file to be rendered in quirks mode on Internet Explorer <ins> 6<\/ins> (and therefore for a potentially large proportion of your audience).<\/p>
\nThe following list item was added to the Further Reading section:
