Hello List
I am making a site for a friend, this is one of the first non-tabular, CSS based websites I have attempted. I normally do back-end application stuff where the W3C has little, direct impact.
Can someone explain to me why, when I add the following declaration to my header, the whole layout drops?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
The good (how I want it) is at:
http://justablip.web-demon.co.uk/test.asp
The bad (and the ugly) is at:
http://justablip.web-demon.co.uk/bad.asp
Not tested in anything other than IE6 WinXP Pro.
Maybe simple, may be beyond the capabilities of my fragile little mind, maybe I shouldn't be doing this on a saturday night!!
Some critique might be nice also...
I know I owe a couple of tips too, I'm working on it!!
