The line that reads:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

on the StyleVars page, can it be removed without causing problems?

I ask because I am trying to use some code that my banner company gave me to allow my website to load before the banners and they said:

"Seems the xhtml 1.0 transitional standard doesn't allow the div to be moved."

So would removing this line completely from the "HTML Doctype" field hurt anything or is it OK to remove it?

Not a good idea to remove since it tells your browser how to interpret the page.
