Jim,

Switching the DOCTYPE may trigger slight changes to the way the 
browser's rendering engine will perform.  But I don't think that's the

The problem is you've switched to XHTML transitional, but you haven't

I'm in the process of converting over my old CSS/HTML site over to 
CSS/XHTML standards and
trying to validate. On this page I have an watermark ad on the right

But when I change the DOCTYPE from "DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional" over to

Has anybody any ideas what is happening and how to correct it? I still 
have 600 pages to convert. :-(

They were all minor and I have corrected them easily. BUT the problem is still there. :(
