    Default FF vs IE Border Rendering Disparity

    There seems to be a disparity in how FireFox (FF) and IE render an element with
    a border.

    [url]http://www.boxnetworks.net/test/ie2.htm[/url]

    I have stripped out all irrevelent code and moved my styles into the doc for
    simplicity.

    View the page with IE6 and FF v1.0.6 to see the issue.

    I had been using FF 1.0.5 and just upgraded to 1.0.6 to determine if that was
    the cause. No.

    I've played with margin & padding settings as well.

    Thank you in advance!

    Replace your current DOCTYPE:


    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

    With a complete one:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    The DOCTYPE doesn't affect page loading time :-) Glad I was able help.

    It's fine now, but it was pretty wierd. ONLY the pages that had the updated
    DOCTYPE were loading slow.

    Is there a DW pref to include that DOCTYPE? I've looked all DW help and prefs
    and can't find anything.

    I'm finding that there are now anomalies in some other boxes but are
    resolvable by adjusting the element width. Good thing I used templates.

    Thanks again...much appreciated.
