Do I need this line? Why is it messing up my custom layout? (3 posts)

    I've modified a few MU installs and as far as I know, this is the first time that the line has caused problems with my layout:

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

    When I remove that line, everything is fine as far as I can see. The problem is that when that line is in the header, it moves my divs down a few lines.

    I can tell you that's a web design problem and doesn't have anything to do with MU. You don't even need it, a doctype is just for validation purposes.

    I know it's a design thing, which is why I screwed it up. I just found out that I had the alignment set to "bottom". lol. Thanks. This is resolved.
