I like making pages with the XHTML strict doctype.
So I was building a page where I have two images that need to be next
to each other, one on top of the other, so the colors match up. In
Firefox 2 and Opera 9 there was always a space in between. But not in
IE7. You can see the effect at http://members.cox.net/desertprince/
Strict.html.
If I change the doctype from strict XHTML to transitional XHTML the
problem goes away. You can see it at http://members.cox.net/
desertprince/Trans.html.
These pages are exactly the same except for the Doctype. They both
validate as XHTML.
What in the Hxxx is going on here?

What happens if you set the images to vertical-align:bottom or
display:block?

never mind. I found a 4 year old article by Eric Meyer that discusses
and solves (sorta) the problem.

But what I really want to know is why?
Why is there this difference between xhtml transitional and xhtml
strict?
IMHO there should not be, but then I'm just me. ;-)

The difference between transitional and strict is mostly presentational
elements and attributes. Strict should be used for new pages. Transitional
is for pages that - uh - just can't make it, or are not ready yet.

Transitional is only appropriate to use in circumstances that are even
narrower than that -- pages that aren't Strict but they _are_ already
well-authored and valid as Transitional, i.e. basically a valid Strict
page anyway with a few <fontdropped in.
If your pages are typical legacy tag-soup, then Transitional is no
more appropriate for them than Strict is. It's no more relaxed about
mis-use of syntax, nor about most of the gross mis-uses of core HTML
tags. In this case you might as well label it under a Strict doctype
and start working from that situation -- at least you're already
working under the best choice of doctype. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've tested some of the new Nokia 6600 functionality. It ships with
WAP2 and XHTML Support (it says). What it does is check the Doctype --
if it's not the XHTML Mobile Profile Doctype, but a XHTML1.0 Strict
one, the media-handheld CSS is _ignored_. Only with the Nokia Doctype,
the CSS is used. I find this really annoying as it goes against the
whole idea of media-independent XHTML Strict along with stylesheets.

I was using quirks mode (without a doctype) and set the overflow CSS
property to :auto for the body tag like so:
<body style="overflow:auto">
And it worked; it got rid of IE's default scroll bars. However, when I
tried to add any doctype at all (HTML strict, HTML loose, XHTML
transitional, XHTML strict, etc.), it stopped working. Do I have any
control over IE's scroll bars when using doctypes?

Hi group,
I encoutered page validation error, but I don't know a way around.
The page has the following doctype:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Some hyperlinks need to open to a new window, so I used the (wrong)
target="" attribute.
