When I have a doctype of
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-
transitional.dtd">
IE 6 considers a 100% width of an element inside the body to go "under"
the vertical scrollbar, therefore creating an unwanted horizontal
scrollbar.
When I take the doctype out, the horizontal scrollbar is gone.
Questions, many, many:
Is that doctype putting IE 6 in quirks or non-quirks mode?
Is that doctype putting Mozilla in quirks or non-quirks mode?
If the answer is the same for the previous question: Why is there no
horizontal scrollbar in Mozilla but there is in IE 6?
How can I get IE 6 to disclude the width of the vertical scrollbar and
still have a doctypoe that will aloow Moz to behave as I want?
WTF am do I feel I have to use a doctype at all for if I just want
things to look like I want them in my target browsers?
