So what can the tag be used for? Update: After rereading the DTD, it do...
I got a sidebar menu from DynamicDrive. I changed it a bit so that can be used from right to left. It works perfectly in all browsers except IE7. After loads of debugging I found out that when I remove the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> tag it...

I'm trying to use the piroBox (http://www.pirolab.it/pirobox/index.php) jQuery plug-in to make a gallery. I'm also using <!DOCTYPE html>. With this DOCTYPE, the images that are supposed to appear in a modal dialog appear at the bottom of the page. Removing the DOCTYPE makes it perform as expected. Is there any way to make the plug-in an...
