I'm not sure if this is the correct place for my question but here goes... The other day David was helping Keith with a coding problem and he recommended the following
" re: <http://bsaroundtable.com/> /Part/ of the difficulty may be that the file is in quirksmode. Delete this: <html> <!--<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>--> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> Replace it with this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> " <head> Originally I thought that I understood DTD correctly but as I read on line info I find myself getting somewhat confused. There seems to be so much information. Could David / or someone / explain to me how the original DTD (strict) put the file into quirksmode and why the second one (transitional) corrects the problem ...or.. Perhaps someone can direct me to a tutorial that will help me to understand.
