Hi

can someone point me to a reference about rendering differences
between strict and transitional doctype?

or: what would you expect?


<!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"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8;charset=utf-8" />

<title>strict vs. transitional</title>

<style type="text/css">
        span {
                background: red;
                border: 1px solid black;
                display: inline-block;
                font-size: 12px;
                padding: 0 2px;
                }
        em {
                background: yellow;
                display: inline-block;
                font-style:normal;
                height: 24px;
                line-height:48px;
                }
</style>
</head>
<body>
        <div><span><em>Text</em></span></div>
</body>
</html>

In Strict mode, the red span encloses the text - in transitional mode,
it dosn't.
Why?

thanks,
Ingo
