Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. With the default DOCTYPE left in the code, Dreamweaver doesn't display my CSS correctly in design view:<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Here's a screen shot with the DOCTYPE retained:

Here's a screen shot with the DOCTYPE removed:
<img src="www.esc-online.com/images/without_doctype.gif" border=0>
If anyone has experienced this and has a solution I would be glad to hear from you.

Hi Simon
Are you using relative sizes for your font?
I'm wondering if the default browser CSS is coming in to effect here.
Also is it the same across different browsers?

Simon,
In this example I am using xx-small, x-small, small, medium etc. The problem is actually not with the browsers, but how Dreamweaver displays the styles in Design mode. I see only slight changes in the browser when I include / exclude the DOCTYPE.
On another note, (and I know I should probably post this elsewhere on the site) do you take subcontracted programming work? I am a graphic designer by training and struggle with ASP despite the fact that we use ASP extensively in our web applications.
