Right. Mozilla Firefox has three modes of rendering: 1) full standards, 2) almost standards and 3) quirks mode. I think the problem is that Kid's "html-strict" mode sends Firefox to full standards mode, but the "html" mode sends it to almost standards mode only, not to quirks mode. That is because "html" mode uses the doctype <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> Even when the URI points to the "loose.dtd", Firefox still uses "almost standards" mode. It will switch to quirks mode only if you remove the URI from the doctype completely, or use a HTML 4.0 or lower doctype, or use no doctype at all (that is what you experienced). So my suggestion is that Kid's output modes should match the three rendering modes of Firefox, i.e. we would need three output modes instead of two (not sure how to name them). For the time being, you should define use any old doctype that enters quirks mode (Kid allows setting your own doctype for the html serializer with the "doctype" parameter). Or, maybe even better, set "position: absolute" for the body tag in your CSS file. Then it should be independent from the rendering mode. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
