I have just designed my first website from books I have read and resources
on the net. I designed several pages, but did not put the DOCTYPE tag at
the beginning, figuring I could put the tag in once I got the pages ready.
Everything is formatting and working correct until I put in the DOCTYPE tag,
then the formatting gets screwed up. I must have been mistaken to think the
DOCTYPE tag was useless except for validation purposes. I could probably
put my site on the web without the DOCTYPE tag and it would work fine. Can
anyone tell me why putting the DOCTYPE tag in my HTML file would screw up
the formatting and layout? Does anyone have any recommendations of what to
look for or what changes may need to be made? I'd appreciate the help.
