You can check document.compatMode and see if it matches "CSS1Compat".

var isQuirky = (document.compatMode !== 'CSS1Compat');
if (isQuirky === true) {
  alert('Your browser is rendering this page in quirks mode, and it may not display properly.');
}

You can check it using document.compatMode property

if document.compatMode is CSS1Compat then the mode is standard otherwise it is Quirk

document.compatMode==='CSS1Compat'?'Standards':'Quirks') + ' mode.'
