If my site worked with ie6 standards, is there a doctype that will make ie8 act it is ie6?

I guess this might be a miracle, but is there a way to make the doctype of tell ie8 to treat the html just like it would in ie6 standards mode. I know you can make ie8 do ie7 standards mode, and I think you can do ie6 quirks mode from ie8, but is there a way to do ie6 standards mode from ie8?

Thanks, Grae

  • Nope, there isn't.

    The X-UA-Compatible tag offers an option to emulate IE 5 (WTF?) and 7, but not 6.

    The best option is probably to fix the components you are using.
