What is the difference between standards mode and quirks mode?🤔

Answer 1

Standards mode is a parsing/rendering mode in Internet Explorer in which it tries to adhere to rendering behaviors as outlined in web standards documents for html and css. Quirks mode is a way to tell internet explorer that it can behave as it did in previous versions of IE, for instance, IE6 where internet explorer had it's own interpretations of how html and css declarations would render and behave.

Answer 2

"standards mode" pages are rendered according to the HTML and CSS specifications, while in "quirks mode" attempts are made to emulate the behavior of older browsers.
