Heya, We've found a really strange issue with some CSS layout when serving a page with XHTML 1.0 Transitional vs. XHTML 1.1 (or XHTML 1.0 Strict), in Firefox 3, Safari & IE8. The exact same behaviour is seen using the HTML 4.01 versions of the doctypes too.
>From what I've read<http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/>, the transitional >doctypes will force these browsers into "almost >standards<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko%27s_%22Almost_Standards%22_Mode>" > mode, but that should only effect the calculation of the height of table >cells that contain just images, which is not the case here (all CSS layout). It only affects a few elements on the page (see links below) and is driving us mental. We need to serve this page as transitional as it uses a 3rd party service that requires an <iframe>. Anybody ever come across anything like this?
