So if you changed that to xHTML strict (instead of transitional), some browsers might interpret some things differently.</p> <p>Here's a reference:<br /> <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/" class="bb-url">http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/</a></p> Wed, 23 Nov 2005 14:36:05 +0000 Megan comment 1186325 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/html-css-basic-question#comment-1186305 <p>It tells the browser yo'd like it displayed in XHTML</p> <p><a href="http://www.w3c.org" class="bb-url">w3c.org</a> is a validation service, run your URL through it and you are able to make your site XHTML valid once more.</p> Wed, 23 Nov 2005 09:40:34 +0000 Busy comment 1186305 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
