I'm pretty sure the well observed and documented behavior of IE is that WHICH doctype makes absolutely not a lick of difference at all. The only thing it looks for is the string <!doctype at the beginning of the document, which decides whether it goes into quirksmode or not. But to such objections, I've cleaned up the example. It now validates on the w3c validator, has no spare spaces in the wrong places, doesn't disagree with itself about what sort of document it is, and still exhibits the bug, about as I predicted it would. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
