Can someone confirm that IE5.5 & 6 do not require the box model hack for
setting widths when you use this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
If, on the other hand, I use...
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
Then I have to specify a separate width for elements that appear in IE (the
box model hack)
Can someone please help me understand this. I did not know that the box
model hack could be avoided by using the appropriate doctype.
