How does an almost standard regime change change profitability from a standard regime?

All the documentation I can find suggests that almost standard mode differs from standard mode only in how the images in the table cells are aligned.

This question: The problem with Internet Explorer 8 and Checkbox CSS , however, indicates that the rendering in IE8 and Opera has changed between the two modes, depending on how the boxes are interpreted. Of course, there are no tables or images on this page.

So, does anyone know the other differences between these two modes?

Yes, it removes the baseline under inline images , which are only children of their containers.

The original mode of almost standards only affects the images in the tables. Other browsers that accept this mode may, of course, put other differences into it.

Form fields and especially checkboxes are complex. Standards don't really cover how they should be presented, so it still depends heavily on the browser to make something reasonable out of this. Flags are built-in elements like images, so some browsers can very well handle them like images.

This Microsoft article explains the difference and covers both the general case of images and the source lines, as well as the behavior of the flags that asked this question:

It says that for the “Nearly Standards” mode:

Inline elements contribute to line height if and only if one of the following is true.

If the item:

  • Contains text characters

  • Has a non-zero border width

  • Has a non-zero margin

  • Has a non-zero padding

  • Has a background image

  • Set vertically to a value other than the base level

Note that line breaks are not considered a text character for this unless it is the only contents of a line string. In this case, the line height of the box remains the top upper line, and the lower lower lower tier window on the line, regardless of the specified line height.

If the img element is the only content in the table cell, the row field has the height of the cells of the cell line brought to zero.
