I need to know what to use for a doc type. when I use default for the style I am working with the site is viewed fine in IE but not in mozilla. When I delete the doc type it looks fine in mozilla and crappy in IE...

I figured one of these would work

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

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

any help would be appreciated... thanks

anyone?

"frameset" doctype is for pages that use frames

If your pages do not validate XHTML try HTML 1 TRANSITIONAL or no doctype at all.

a doctype tells the browser that the page is coded in a particular coding style eg. HTML/XHTML (transitional/strict)

Again, if the page does not validate in HTML or XHTML do not use a doctype. Browsers are more forgiving if you do not add a doctype.

Yes, I tried that. After doing that the site looked perfect in mozilla but half of it was missing in IE.....lol

Thanks so much for your help!!

the html is really poor on the site ... you need to start looking over the entire contents and fix what is not valid
