Menu
I somehow slipped through the cracks of being taught to add the DOCTYPE tag to all my html documents.
I started to do this (first i tried strict, then transitional) and both are effecting my pages in strange ways.
As far as I can tell, it’s changing the way my top & bottom margins (set in a CSS document) are displayed – both more space and less space, it changes per page…
It is possible that my code is not *perfect
[CODE]<p align=”center”><img src=”images/fl_06.gif” width=”285″ height=”12″ boder=”0″ class=”line2″ /></p>
stretch out and cause the content not to fit
is there a danger in leaving the doctype out?
here is the full page:
