Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 7 and later. By default, windows created with the IHTMLWindow4::createPopup function are displayed in IE5 (Quirks) mode compatibility mode (also called "quirks" mode), regardless of the display mode of the webpage that created them. To display standards-based content in a popup window, use IHTMLPopup::document.location location to load an external document into the popup window. When you do this, the popup window will render the content according to the document compatibility mode of the loaded content. For information, see Defining Document Compatibility.
