Doctype changes for % dimensions
Caroling Geary 2005-Oct-21 20:05:00
A few months ago we were talking about problems getting widths and
heights specified in % to display correctly in Firefox or other
browsers on some platforms. Marcus, I think you mentioned the doctype
on the web page could affect them. I've been changing my doctypes
from this:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
To this:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en">
Suddenly I'm wondering what that loose.dtd is intended to achieve. Or
rather, what functionality am I losing by removing it? Will other
browsers have even worse problems than before?
