  • Selecting Quirks Mode vs. Standards Mode

    
    

    
    To provide better cross-browser compatibility, GWT sets the doctype declaration to HTML 4.01 Transitional. This, in turn, sets the browser's rendering engine to "Quirks Mode". If you instead want to render the application in "Standards Mode", there are a number of other doctypes you can use to force the browser to this render mode. In general, GWT applications will work in "Standards Mode" just as well as "Quirks Mode", but in some cases using widgets like panels and such may not render correctly. This problem has been greatly improved since GWT 1.5, and more work is being done to solve this problem once and for all.
