General DOCTYPE sniffing notes

  1. Quirks mode — Emulates non-standard behaviors in Navigator 4 and MSIE. Generally used in HTML without DOCTYPE and HTML 3 or below. The amount of emulation differs between the layout engines, e.g. Gecko uses the standardized W3C box layout model even in quirks mode. Thus the results are quite unpredictable in this mode.
  2. Standards mode — Follows W3C's recommendations.

Quirks mode is an alternate method by which modern web browsers render HTML. Its purpose is to replicate rendering behavior introduced in previous versions of the browsers, which attempted to implement CSS to their own specifications before the standardization of CSS. This allows for older web sites to still render...

Gecko DOCTYPE sniffing notes

  1. Almost standards mode — Implements the vertical sizing of table cells traditionally and not rigorously according to the CSS2 specification. Almost standards mode was created after 1.0 and 1.1alpha, but before 1.0.1 and 1.1beta. This mode is, however, similar to the standard modes of Trident, Presto and WebCore. Before almost standards mode was created these DOCTYPEs triggered standards mode.
