New DOCTYPE sniffing in upcoming Mozilla releases (evolt.org)

[Posted July 10, 2002 by cook]

evolt.org looks at additions to Mozilla that will support some common, but broken web standards. "In the upcoming 1.01 and 1.1 releases, Mozilla will add an "almost standards" mode to its mix. This mode is virtually identical to the standards mode (now being referred to as "full standards mode") but with one crucial change. In almost standards mode, Mozilla will not implement the CSS-2 line-height rules that causes many pages with pixel-precise image layouts via tables to break apart."
