Hello everyone,
I stumpled upon a wierd IE bug when developing. Right now I use the strict XHTML doctype for my webpages, I was using tranisitional but I stepped it up. Anyways I originally commented out the tranisitional doctype and added the strict doctype below it. Why didnt I just delete the code? I am not sure.
My pages validated and everything was great. But then when I finally deleted the tranisitional code, IE messed up the layout of my site. Basically added white space to my wrapper tag. When I put the commented tranisitional code back in, everything look good again. Firefox and Opera were unaffected by the changes.
Has anyone experienced this before? Seems odd.
