2004-04-03 Thread Randall Potter
I'm having an issue where the site that I'm working on validates as xhtml-strict and looks fine under Gecko and KHTML based browsers but, fails to load in IE, Opera, and dillo. I would much appreciate it if someone could help me out here and tell me what I'm missing.

You could try taking out the xml prologue (first line). This causes IE to render in quirks mode, but I don't think it affects Opera. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randall Potter Sent: Saturday, 3 April 2004 6:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks. I'm not entirely sure why it works, but it does seem to. However, it off-sets the content from the bottom by a few pixels. I replaced the bottom:20px and top:20px with 0px, and it seems to work fine, but it still leaves a few pixels of space underneath, even with margin and padding at 0.
