The use of a Transitional vs. Strict doctype declaration, as defined in HTML specifications, has no impact on the rendering of the page, or anything else, except validation. But using a Transitional doctype without a URL puts e.g. IE into Quirks Mode, whereas a Strict doctype without a URL doesn't. Such doctype declarations do not conform to HTML specifications. In Quirks Mode, browser behavior can be very different from "Standards Mode", especially in the treatment of CSS constructs. For a list of possible differences, see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/quirks-mode.html Jukka K.
