N1CK3RS0N Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well I been having a series of problems and it comes down to using the following. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> Currently I'm working on a WYSIWYG text editor. Without DOCTYPE, I cannot use div:hover CSS for mouse over effects on a DIV. And with DOCTYPE, the positioning is way off on the pop-ups for color selector. Here is a demo of the WYSIWYG text-editor. http://www.cigarcompendium.com/WYSIWYG/index.html If you view source and save it locally and make some tweaks to try it out, you can see the problems that occur when you add and remove the DOCTYPE. Appreciate any help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Always use a doctype. If your design is flawed when you add the doctype, it means your code is flawed. Fix your code so that it works with the doctype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haku Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 That's an HTML 5 doctype - it's not particularly cross-browser compatible yet. IE browsers don't recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
