You probably shouldn't be using XHTML or xml. HTML 4.01 strict (example blank page):
Is generally the best to use. However, that probably won't fix your problems. Things just layout differently in strict mode.HTML Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> </body> </html>
The bottom line is, start your new pages with the DOCTYPE you intend to use. If you have a page that works fine without a DOCTYPE, leave it alone.
You can upgrade to a valid page, but it usually will require a bit of redesign/recoding. How exactly this needs to be done depends upon the page itself. If you want more help:
Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.
