LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksHi
I'm a newbie and I know this question has been posted before, but on looking at the answers I still can't figure out what's going wrong.
The site displays perfectly in Safari, IE & Chrome but for some reason things get knocked out of alignment in Firefox.
I'm a designer not a coder so I don't usually do this but decided to have a go as it's a really simple site and I want to learn - so please excuse the dodgy code as I'm learning.
Site is: :: Fly Creative | Graphic Design | Cape Town | South Africa ::
I know when running it through validator it says no Doctype on page.
But when I add Doctype it makes matters worse.
What Doctype should I be using?
I tried:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
and:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
And:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
All knocked out formatting.
Could anyone shed some light on this please?
Thanks a lot

The site is a nice looking one, but you really need to get away from tables and do your layout in divs, with CSS to position them.
I suggest you look up some basic tutorials in CSS and start to re-code the site.Good design should never say "Look at me!"
