Hi,
Just noticed this in the WSG List:
"Removing any characters before<!DOCTYPE ...> really does miracles,
because now the layouts is much better under IE/Safari/Chrome/FF."
This is because if the first thing a browser sees is anything BUT a
Doctype declaration it goes into Quirks mode.
Clarification: that would be in IE 6 only. All other browsers are okay
with the DOCTYPE not coming first in the source.
I'd also note that default font size is 12pt, not 16pt. 12pt defaults to
16px at 96 DPI, at 20px at 120 DPI, and so on... But only in Internet
Explorer (all versions) and Opera, as far as I am aware. Webkit and
Gecko display 12pt as 16px at default settings - on my 120 DPI laptop,
anyway.
Cordially,
David
