Re: Help with DOCTYPE
The same thing happens with EXPLORER or MOZILLA browers..... when I
include
"
http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd";
in the DOCTYPE the absolute positioning doesn't work. So, apparently
I'm switching from QUIRKS mode to STANDARDS mode, and what worked in
QUIRKS mode no longer works in STANDARDS mode. Why is that... the
absolute positioning doesn't seem to work at all in STANDARDS mode...
