That way there are no suprises when you add it. The doctype tells the browser how to interpret your code, based on the definition provided in the doctype declaration via the url. One thing I would recommend is using strict rather than transitional. Why? It tells the browser to stick to the standards. It makes it easier to be sure things work the way they should. 2) Using tables for layout in this case is totally unneccesary and is simply bad practice. This would be one of those old bad habits ;) 3) you vary a great deal in the way you use quotation marks in your tags. ANywhere you have a this="that", the "that" should be in quotes. You also should be using your CSS, preferably in an external stlyesheet (as opposed to using style="...") to specify the height/width/border of your boxes. 4) <font> tags :o The logo: the image is actually 101 pixels tall, yet in the HTML you specify it as 100px. I have to assume that is part of the problem. The <p> wrapped around can't help matters much either, nor can the fact that the background image is 150px. Getting all that straightened out should help matters.. Loading...
