this is doctype I was told to use for a site I'm building at work..
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
only problem is, in IE the layout gets totally screwed up!
everything becomes centered, the divs containing nav buttons gets
compressed, and buttons show up one on top of the other (it's a
horizontal nav, buttons run across top of pages..)
in FF no problem at all..
site is done with css, pretty standard css code, nothing out of the
ordinary (I think....;)
can't provide url, site is still in development..
would appreciate some suggestions.. thank you...

Probably the wrong doctype to use. You should always use HTML 4.01
Strict, unless there's a good reason not to. There aren't many good
reasons.
This particular doctype declaration _should_ make CSS rendering behave
itself
See <http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/>
but it's impossible to say for sure without a URL.

Smells like a quirks mode rendering problem.

That just sounds like broken code.

Have you validated both HTML and CSS ? (Let me guess!)
Have you validated both HTML and CSS _before_ asking any question to
c.i.w.a.*?
can't provide url
Can't provide a solution

Yes you can, just post a link to a quick static HTML document which
illustrates the behaviour. We won't mind the site isn't finished, the
content isn't there etc.

interesting.. I put this,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
which I got from here, http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html
(the top one..)
and problem goes away..
still don't fully get this doctype thing, but well, if this one works
will leave this one I guess..
thank you very much..

Could you also validate & fix the HTML errors?

Mixing HTML style attributes with CSS is asking for trouble. Get rid of
all those align attributes, for starters. Then validate the HTML and go
from there.

I think you mean "HTML 3.2 presentational attributes". Mixing these
with CSS is indeed asking for trouble.
Adding CSS through a HTML 4 style attribute is much more
straightforward.

Yes, that is indeed what I meant. I forget that "style" is an attribute,
probably because I rarely use it. It can make for messy code, too.
