At home we've all been pretty sick the last week or so. As a result, I only recently caught this nugget. Molly Holzschlag suggests that all work should stop on HTML5, XHTML 1.1+ (and presumably CSS3?).

You may be expecting the browser to be using Standards Mode (recommended), but it might actually be using Quirks Mode because you missed the DOCTYPE statement. I'll periodically update this blog entry to keep track of how to do this stuff in a variety of browsers. Read the rest of this entry ...
