Hi, building a site using XSLT to output XHTML to the browser, we recently added a DOCTYPE definition to our page and suddenly saw almost all elements of the page being distributed around the layout, as if the cellpadding of all tables was set to 20 or something.
When we removed the DOCTYPE, the problem dissapeared again. As it seems, the spacing issue only happens on tables, wether they have nested tables, text or images in their cells. All paragraph tags and similar block elements keep their exact spacing. This behaviour only appears in Mozilla and Netscape. IE does the layouting perfectly. Is this a Mozilla issue? How to prevent this additional whitespace to appear, without of course loosing the DOCTYPE definition? Or is this a layout issue, where Mozilla layouts tables in a different way than IE does (or does IE layout tables in a different way as Mozilla does). thanks for clearing this out, vincent
