Hello!
I am using the Patrick Carey book HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML 4th ed. I'm working on Tutorial 7 and I have done 3 Case Problems and keep having the same problem. I feel I have followed the book as closely as possible. Once I insert the objects the layout is off in FF but still looks fine in IE. I don't know if the book just doesn't address this at this time but I feel I need to know why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated! They provided the CSS file used with this page and I only edited the html. astaire.htm |

Well, for one thing, you have no doctype declaration, which puts browsers in quirks mode. I recommend a doctype declaration that puts browsers in standards mode. See also:

So...I hate this book. We do not cover doctype until Tutorial 8. And, I looked through the validation report and I did not write any of those errors. That was how I received the file. The only changes I made were to insert the object tags. Even the parameters for the creditroll were already written.
Thanks for the input. Well, for one thing, you have no doctype declaration, which puts browsers in quirks mode. I recommend a doctype declaration that puts browsers in standards mode.
