I'm using the great HTML5 boilerplate. It's a great project but I'm having some big issues rendering in IE 8 and 7 (possibly 8 but haven't tried yet)
The files have the HTML5 doctype:
<!doctype html>
<head>
But the problem is that having no full and ugly doctype like...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I get all kind of rendering issues: centering by margin:auto doesn't work, heights, widths, martings and paddings all behave like crazy and all my layout is broken with just <!doctype> but if I switch to the old one, everything works great (well, not great, it's still IE, but as expected)
HTML5 Boilerplate comes with Modernizer which I think should fix this but it's not working. From my "research" (Google) I found that IE enters in quirks mode width <!doctype>, so the question is...
Is there a way to prevent IE going into quirks mode with <!doctype>?
Or at least not to break margins, widths, paddings, etc?
Edit: This is the full head:
<!doctype html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
