Coding issue

Ok I dont exactly know what is happening here. I paste this code:

Code:

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

At the top of my page and this is what happenes to it. Notice the white on the side over there. That isnt supposed to be there. Its supposed to be black.

Click for bigger view

And it only seems to do it on this layout. But i like this layout and dont want to have to change it. What can i do? How do i fix this?

Can you please post a link to the entire page or attach the whole code?

It's a little more complex than that. Adding in a DOCTYPE will cause browsers to expect your page to be coded properly, and they won't try to correct your mistakes. That white space is what happens when your page is rendered correctly (according to HTML 4.01 Transitional).

So dose that mean i cant do any thing about it? Other then changing the layout?

Maybe some one can figure out how to fix the coding so it dont have the white part on it. If not thats ok. Ill either go with out the code at the top or use a different layout

Does your page work in FF with the doctype, because without the doctype it doesn't really work in FF3. I suggest that you add a doctype, try to validate it and then check if you still have problems.
