Bob:

When a DTD is present, NN6.1 tries to conform very closely to the 
standards; when a DTD is missing, NN6.1 tries to behave like a legacy 
browser.  IE6 has similar behaviour.

Your code, therefore, has problems which produce unexpected results when 
interpreted in accordance with the standards.  I recommend that you restore 
the DTD and fix your code.
