> Debbie Debbie- I didn't catch the beginning of this thread so I haven't looked at your page specifically, but you can visit the WIKI to learn more about doctypes, here: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=RenderingMode Basically, the doctype declaration lets the browser know what standard you are using on your page. Most browsers also use the doctype to switch between rendering modes. If you don't set the correct doctype, you can end up causing problems with your layout that won't exist if you'd used the correct doctype. Its very important to learn about doctypes, as your doctype is the first thing that will determine how your page looks in each browser. The best layman's explanation of doctypes from that page on the WIKI is: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html Hope that helps get you started.
