That DocType triggers quirks modes across browsers, so of course what looks right in the browser you design in, will look off in other browsers.
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ Use the following DocType and make sure your page validates. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> Then start working with your page in FireFox first. Make it work there. (Its always easier to get something to work in a more standards based browser and then make changes for other browsers which aren't so compliant such as IE). Once you have that working, go ahead and fix IE. Make sure you look at it in both IE6 and IE7 and send your changes to those browsers via the conditional tags I reference in my blog http://www.shayna.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.display_entry&id=131 Sandra Clark ============================== http://www.shayna.com Training in Cascading Style Sheets and Accessibility -----Original Message----- From: Doug Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 10:49 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CSS And doctype <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> Doug B. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 8:38 AM Subject: RE: CSS > What docType are you using?
