    Javascript / CSS Question

    Hi,

    I just implemented some popup balloons that I got from this site:


    The first line in the HTML file is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//
    DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN'>


    For some reason it screws up my centering and all sorts of stuff, my
    table borders, styles, etc.

    Can anyone explain this to me?

    Thanks!

    John

      I am going to guess that you don't know XHTML, which is largely HTML4
      written as XML. You may find this a helpful starting point,
      http://personalweb.about.com/od/basi...a/409xhtml.htm, but,
      largely, you may want to just work with HTML 4, and get very
      comfortable with that technology first.

      It is hard to answer better, for me, since you didn't mention anything
      about your browser or show any examples of your difficulties.

      Good luck.

          Sorry, I am using IE 7, and, it works fine in Firefox, but not in IE.
          As soon as I remove that line, everything aligns properly, but I lose
          the effect of CSS and the mouseover balloons......

              Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode and the links
              offered in the External Links section at the bottom. The short answer
              is that some browsers process documents differently depending on lines
              like the one you cite.
