I have just been involved in writing an application that does not use Doctype's on the jsp's. It has become increasingly difficult to fix html errors on different browsers because of this. I have done some research and understand what is going on and how to fix it, but that is not my question.
I have noticed that Amazon.com and Cat.com do not use Doctypes. There are many other major sites that do not use them either. Anyone know if there is a reason for this? How do they get around quirksmode?
