Problem with IE7 - HTML / CSS

1 New Member

Hi,

In the process of upgrading our website from IE6 to IE7,we are facing some alignment issues on alomost all screens in our website.

We are using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> to follow our standards. However, what I see is that if I remove this doctype from my HTML files, all the problems get solved immediately. But removing this doctype will be a bad idea as it is a legal requirement on UK websites to use such doctypes.

We follow "Div" classes patterns to call our classes defined within the .css files. What I observe is that if i change "width" parameter from % to px for certain classes in our css files, most of the problems get solved. Is it like this that IE7 doesn't accepts "width" parameters in % OR is it a problem wrt the DocType provided above?

Please let us know what can be the best possible solution in such a scenario. Can we replace our Doctype with some other value OR should we go for a change in our .css files.
