Personally i use the 4.01 transitional / Loose for the CSS and DHTML
coding I do, I havent done much with XML / XHTML doctypes
as there isnt much benefit with most of the work I do.
if you are not using XHTML, then it would probably benefit you to move
your doctype to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
otherwise your doctype works fine and should validate as long as you
stick to conventional wisdom

Yeah, I'm finding that out - the hard way. What doctype are people using
that you find is the best to work with? Mine is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
Thanks,
Todd

Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Help with web page
forgot to say something else:
FireFox will display things that other browsers will gasp at, usually in
"QUIRKS MODE", many websites that look fine on firefox will not only fail
W3C validation, but will look crazy on different browsers. if you use
standardized CSS / HTML it should show up the exact same across the browsers
- I had the same sort of problems designing my work website (
www.eurosourceantiques.com ) until I settled into using CSS / DHTML to
position things and ended up finally meeting basic W3C standards ( for
401//TRANSITIONAL )

Hi Everyone -
I'm having two particular problems with a site that I am doing. While
the site is not live, I set up a sample site so you could have a better
idea of what is going on. Only a few pages are live on this site -
home, bands, contact.
On the left hand side I have a menu that looks fine on some pages, but
when the main content stretches, it slides down the page with it -
leaving a gap at the top of the menu.
Example: home page is fine without content, but the "local bands" page
has the problem.
I gritted my teeth and added a clear.gif file at the end of the menu to
help push things back to the top. It did work but I can't sleep at
night thinking that is my fix. On the bands page, for instance, I have
a huge .gif file at the end to help with the fill. I changed the
number so you could see the gap at the top.
I've also noticed that on Firefox my menu is fine, but on IE it
stretches right. Thoughts?
I've looked at this so many times before that I know I'm missing something.
If anyone would have a chance to look at it and give suggestions - for
a fix but not necessarily the site as it is still being worked on - I
would very much appreciate it! If there is anything else that you need
to see please let me know.
