Kerry,

Without some more details this will be difficult to diagnose. What
browser/OS combinations are you seeing this behaviour on?

That aside, the page language (XHTML Trans, HTML4.01, Tag Soup) shouldn't
have any bearing on the servers ability to deliver pages, but this is
raising some red flags:

When the pages has the XHTML declaration, they didn't have an xml prolog at
the top by any chance did they?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This is known to throw some versions of IE into Quirks Mode and affect
rendering, I'm wondering if something odd is happening to Webstar. It
shouldn't, but without any more information we're clutching at straws.

Have you tried the Webstar support site?:
