padding doesn't work with document type xhtml
When my document is <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"> The padding, margins and postioning in CSS work fine.
When i convert the document to <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> then some of my CSS specifications
are not adherd to. Padding, and margin spec is in some cases ignored? What is
going on??????
I've checked all the links to CSS files. Just by changing the DTD alone
creates the problem.
Please helpTextTextHTML 4.01 Transitiona

quirks mode. If you want HTML4.01 Transitional rendering you need to use a
complete instance of this doctype -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Having an incomplete doctype is functionally equivalent to having no doctype
at all.
As to your problem, I would need to see the page to tell you why it's not
working - can you post a link?

I think you'll find that the HTML 4 DTD is correct, but pls check. I just didn't write it completely cause odf space.
Here the link. [url]http://www.pointdesign.info/elsknowles/css/blue-layout.css[/url]

Murray *TMM* #4 Re: padding doesn't work with document type xhtml
It is valid but not complete. As a result, browsers will render that page
in quirks mode. That's my point. It doesn't trigger the desired doctype
switching.
See the recommendations here -

If you will please post a link to the page where this is happening I may be
able to see it and suggest a cause.

Point-online.org #7 Re: padding doesn't work with document type xhtml
I Got it nearly sorted!!!!
It was that i had forgotten to include the unit of measurement to the
attributes In my style sheet. I.E. px for pixels.
Now all i have to do is solve why i see this "equals" "=" symbol in top left
hand corner ? I can't see it in the code of either style sheet or htm doc????
Any suggestions anyone?:D

Reply to this message.
In your reply, use your keyboard to enter the letters "h" then "t" then "t"
then "p" followed by colon slash slash. Now enter the path to the file
where you have uploaded it, e.g.,
[url]http://www.example.com/whatever.html[/url]
(assuming your domain is 'example.com' and your file is in the root of that
domain, and is named 'whatever.html')
Get it?

Here the link. [url]http://www.pointdesign.info/elsknowles/htm/b-Gal-nat1.htm[/url]
But i solved everything now thanx. The was already on the forum??? Why did you
want it again??
The problem was that when you define a DTD then the browsers become more
strict. I needed to use units of measurement to all selector value attributes.
I'd missed a couple. That's all!!!! But your first comment pointed me in the
right direction. Thanx again.
;)
