Consider this code: - <input type="button" value="u" style="text-decoration: underline;" />
With a complete doctype definition, Firefox will not render the underline, but IE will. With an incomplete doctype definition, Firefox renders the page in quirks mode, and the underline is rendered. I want the underline to render, but I don't want the page to load in quirks mode. Is there a way to make this happen?

What you are doing with that markup is actually trying to underline a value or property of the element, somethingi CSS doesn't do. The fact that it happens at all is just a matter of luck. You might look into 'button' since it's more flexible but I couldn't get 'underline' to work there either.
Most browsers are different on what they allow for styling in forms. You can frequently style the borders the text is in, and the colors or fonts, but little else.
Actually, someone on another forum found a solution. For some reason (we honestly don't know why), if you apply any of the following (or some variants of them) to a button: - position: absolute;
-
display: block;
-
float: left;
the underline shows up. So my solution was to reverse the order of my buttons, float them all to the right, and now the underline shows up. I've updated this page with one of them, and you can see it works.
Any idea why this works?
There are many things that will work if you apply them but that doesn't mean they're standard or reliable. And this may be just one of those things.

I use to trust Firefox, but in this case, I don't know what to think. My
test page:
http://gusgus.cn/test/index.html
IE6 does the right thing. The containting <div> is 600px, and within it,
there's one <div> of 400px and another of 200px, laying side by side.
The right <div> has padding on the left and right, to add some space
within the box, but Firefox (0.9.2) seem to confuse paddings as margins.
Here's the right <div> in my CSS:

Am I wrong, or do paragraphs have extra space on top in FireFox, when
compared to Microsoft IE. The top of this page is an example:
http://www.publicdomainsoftware.org/index.php?pageId=299
The text in the box at top looks like it has an extra 10 or 20 pixels
of padding at the top, when FireFox is compared to IE. Why is that?

See http://services.ccagroup.co.uk/testlink.html
It's valid html 4.01 transitional.
It contains 6 links: A1-A3, and B1-B3.
A is with no (default) style, B has "a img.nound { text-decoration:
none; border: none; }".
Link 1 is image + text - this has the problem - why is the image
underlined ? How do I fix it ?
Link 2 is just image - this is fine.
Link 3 is just text - also fine.

I'm new to JavaScript and I wrote this code to play with. Oddly, if I
enter text in a box and then press the button, I only get the onChange
event for the text box and not the button's onclick event. But if I
press the button without entering text first, the button click event
does work. What's up?

Hi All;
I, like others, have been frustrated with designing
forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox.
They simply did not scale the same.
I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem
to offer any way to control the font size of a text input
element.

I have a ASP .Net page that allows moving around items on the page through

In FireFox however, I have found that if the page is using XHTML 1.0
Transitional as the doctype, you cannot set the style.left and style.top
properties of image or div tags. If you remove the doctype from the page it
works just fine, although I would rather not do this. You can work around
this by setting the cssText...
