Tod, Georg has provided you with some good information, and I agree with him that in order to help you, we'll need to see the page.
From: "CJ Larson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >[If I got that wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me!] :D Okay - I sure would like to put this misconception to rest. According to Microsoft[1], if I am reading correctly (and ignoring HTML versions before HTML4), IE6 is in quirks rendering mode (they call it "compatibiliity-mode") ONLY when there is no "URL" present in HTML4 Transitional and Frameset doctypes (in other words when the doctype is incomplete and there is no system identifier). (The MSDN page does not mention HTML4.01, the current W3C recommendation, but I have found that, for box model issues at least, as long as there is a complete doctype, IE6 will be in standards mode.) We also know that IE6 is in quirks mode when an xml declaration, or anything for that matter, precedes the doctype, regardless of how complete the doctype is. So, if you'll write /complete/ doctypes, of the type currently recommended by the W3C[2] for HTML4.01 or XHTML1.0, and if you'll heed the information regarding the xml declaration or other things preceding the doctype, then IE6 will render in "standards-compliant" mode, at least as far as the Box Model [3,4] is concerned. This has been a public service(?) announcement. ~holly [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnie60/html/cssenhancements.asp [2] http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html [3] http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=E0989953B6F20B41 [4] http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=E2F258C46D285FEE ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
