Topic awaiting preservation: Positioning Busted on XHTML

So I'm messing with some draggable divs (Firefox only, this is actually for an FF extension).

And I've noticed that my code breaks on XHTML transitional doctypes.

Any idea why and what I can do to fix this?

Works Fine
Doesn't like me

Thanks!

I suck at JavaScript, but considering you have some bad errors in both your markup and your CSS...well I think the problem is most likely overlooking the requirements of valid CSS.

For instance, if you fix all the number values within the JavaScript to have 'px' on the end, you'll at least get the yellow box back in the same placement and with the same dimensions as the working page.

My guess is that the scripting doesn't take into account that dimensions must have a unit specified, so when it tries to (let's say we've fixed the starting values) modify the coordinates 200px & 300px to something new, it drops the px and the CSS engine goes "wtf...no, can't do anything with that, bro, not in standards mode".

Actually that did it, I needed the px in there on everything.

Thanks!
