Nope. Doesn't trigger quirks mode in Opera 6. Nothing triggers quirks
mode in Opera 6. Opera 6 doesn't have a quirks mode. Hence the
question Toby asked.

Other browser that don't perform doctype sniffing (e.g. IE5) only have
a quriks mode. But Opera 6 only has a standards mode.

Does N 2 have a quirks mode? No? Then why ask the question?

Opera 6 is old, don't have that 1 anymore, that's why I did put a ?

If by N 2 you mean Netscape 2, then the answer is yes.
Netscape 2's rendering is best described as quirks mode as it
certainly fails to obey the specifications in many areas.
Then why ask the question?

Which question?

To point out to Eric that you can't *reliably* trigger either quirks
mode *or* standards mode.

The number of "always quirks mode" browsers (that is, IE 5.x for
Windows) is going down all the time, so the best thing is to stick with
standards mode.

You can in browsers that "support" both modes.

Test in <http://copysense.co.uk/doctype.htm>:

Selected: no DOCTYPE

Result:

<html>
causes the currently used browser:
Netscape
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
to render web pages in quirks mode
