Modern versions of IE call this "quirks mode," but quirks mode was all there was for most of the 2000s. IE6 was the height of IE bullshittery, to the point that webdevs had to write entirely different CSS files for IE6 than for everything else, and use various means of trickery to change which styles were applied based on the user agent. And all of the undefined behaviours of IE that let all those shit sites work also prevented it from complying with standards properly. Garbage sites plagued the internet, to the point that other browsers couldn't gain a foothold because of all the sites that would only work in IE. ActiveX? Sure! Conflicting script or CSS definitions? Let's use whatever file arrived last, instead of whatever appears last in the code. Internet Explorer embraced the Robustness Principle so well that you could feed it almost pure garbage and it would still generate output. It's also still common knowledge, and a constant thorn in the side of all webdevs. Are you interested in promoting your own content? STOP!
