But if we change it to be : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> It then renders in Standards compliance mode. It seems to be the right thing, as I learned from this page : http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html It says that a "public identifier without a system identifier" causes the rendering engine to use "Quirks mode". While I don't know exactly why this url is required, I know that the Mozilla Composer doesn't write it in newly created files... So, files created by the Mozilla Composer aren't rendered in "Standards compliance mode" by default ! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://desdz.club.fr/CreatedByMozillaComposer.html Note that it renders in Quirks mode. 2. Go to http://desdz.club.fr/CreatedByMozillaComposerURL.html It should render in Standards compliance mode.
i don't think composer really generates standards mode content, and i doubt users expect it. this is probably a dupe of a wontfix.
