You should definitely have a full doctype on every page - without it your pages are not valid. The differences are due to IE and Opera going into "quirks mode" - emulating old (bad) browser behaviour - when no doctype is present. If you post the pages exhibiting the problem, I'm sure someone here will be able to give you some idea as to why.
