Re: quirks mode?
Both pages have a doctype declaration for me?! Try downloading one of the pages, e.g. www.uniklinik-freiburg.de , remove the doctype declaration, and see what happens in Mozilla: Mozilla will display the page without those spaces between the images, as it is displayed in NN 4, Opera, and IE. They shouldn't. If you translate quirks to your language, you'll see that this mode is for pages written in a way they shouldn't have been written (unfortunately, that applies to 90% of the WWW nowadays). So, validate your pages with the W3C HTML and CSS validators http://validator.w3.org and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ ), and make sure everything is fine, and then Mozilla will display the page 99%ly as it should be displayed. My page, http://www.ircass.org/, contains valid HTML 4.01 transitional and valid CSS2. My question is: Why does Mozilla render these pages in a different way when you remove the doctype declaration?

quirks mode?
Hi! If you've a look at http://www.ircass.org/ or http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/ you will notice a difference between Mozilla's rendering with and without the doctype declaration. Has this to do with Mozilla's quirks mode? How do you have to change the pages so that they display as in quirks mode but still have a doctype declaration? Andreas

And both trigger the Mozilla standards mode.

They don't trigger quirks mode, at least not for me. If one did, and the
other didn't, then _yes_, that could be one of the causes.
How do you have to change the pages so that they
display as in quirks mode but still have a doctype declaration?
They shouldn't. If you translate quirks to your language, you'll see
that this mode is for pages written in a way they shouldn't have been
written (unfortunately, that applies to 90% of the WWW nowadays). So,
validate your pages with the W3C HTML and CSS validators (
http://validator.w3.org and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ ), and
make sure everything is fine, and then Mozilla will display the page
99%ly as it should be displayed.
If Mozilla _really_ shows a page better in quirks mode than it does in
standards mode while the page itself is absolutely fine and valid, then
it's a bug. Please file it at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . Thanks.

Use a doctype like: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN (ie. transitional and without a URL). -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
