Bogus Code
I lose the right hand side of my weight-conversation table when viewed through
the browser. The code for this table has been taken from a free-code site so I
queried this quirk with them. I have been given the following reply but do not
know whether I should accept their comment as the code they refer to wasn't put
in by me, it appear on the Dreamweaver generated template I use.
"The very first line of your html page is bogus: i've removed:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
(this line is of no use anyway) from the top of the page and the problem goes
away".
...I then received a follow-up response stating:
"the standard you've selected(xhtml) via
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" at the first line is
too strict - it make the converter html code to downgrade and ignore
margins/paddings and besides your pages are not XML ones replace it with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
as [url]www.microsoft.com[/url] uses for html pages"
Would you recommend I follow his advice? My site can be seen at

Lionstone #2 Re: Bogus Code
The first response stating your DOCTYPE doesn't do anything is flat out
wrong. Somebody is in the wrong profession.
You are, however, using the wrong DOCTYPE for a normal HTML page. You
should probably be using HTML 4.01 Transitional (it's a choice in DW; you
can make it your default choice in preferences).
It looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
If their product only works in quirks mode, then it's a bad product and you
should find an alternative.

This is bogus too. The doctype they list here is valid but not complete.>

It, too, will put IE into quirks mode. Please follow lionstone's
direction....
