copied!<p>There is virtually <em>nothing</em> available today that is intended to work correctly with Quirks mode.</p> <p>Quirks mode was obsolete in 2001 -- it's basically an IE5-compatibility mode. If your code is still using it, then it's got a serious problem. By far the best answer would be to upgrade your site not to use quirks mode any more.</p> <p>The good news is that this actually isn't difficult, if you only need to support IE8 and above, because IE8 supports a CSS feature called <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/Box-sizing" rel="nofollow"><code>box-sizing</code></a>. (This doesn't work in IE6 or IE7, which is why quirks mode has lingered so long, but it's fine in IE8)</p> <p><code>box-sizing</code> is a standard CSS feature that works in all browsers, and allows you to specify the box model to work like quirks mode.</p> <p>The box model is the primary difference between quirks mode and standards mode, so in order to make a site written for quirks mode work in all browsers, simply set the <code>box-sizing</code> across the whole site: the following code should do it:</p> <pre><code>* { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -ms-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; } </code></pre> <p>You can then add the doctype and put the site into standards mode, and it should continue to work as before.</p> <p>Once you've done that, you should be able to start using some modern browser features and up-to-date script libraries like the one you're asking about.</p> <p>Hope that helps.</p>
