Yes, you need a Doctype, it could be this one or another though. Check "A list Apart" to find out about Doctypes PS: if things "look as they should" when there is no Doctype, then my guess is that you may be doing something wrong. -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
