I demand a refund!

I am doing a major overhaul of a site just now. I am viewing it in
Firefox, Opera and IE. Naturally there are slight differences.

I read your post, and thought I would give it a try. I put in this
doctype (didn't have one before):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

I then refreshed each browser. Didn't make a blind bit of difference!

DOCTYPE SHMOCTYPE!
