Uuummmm . . . errrr . . . ahhhhhh . . .
This means the problem is NOT the DTD my friend, it means there is a
compliance issue. By removing "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" you
have simply removed the reference the browser is using to render the page -
it is now *guessing* how to do it. That means bad things for (document)
stability and predictability!!
Please, be informed according to the W3, HWG, and most all other
"knowledgeable" sources, a complete (and specific) DTD is a *required* element.
HTH,
Fuzzy

I asked Mom if I was a gifted child... she said they certainly wouldn't
have paid for me.
