Re: table td not styling correctly in Design View CS4

Thank you Nancy

I thought I'm declaring an xhtml document 1.1 which I believe is strict 1.0
with additional elements.

According to W3C it should put the browser into Standards mode.

Sorry, I cant quite see why the first line of code is causing the problem.

Thank you so much for your information and feedback though, and sorry to be a
pain, but I am just a bit confused still.

Regarding the XML declaration that Nancy suggested omitting, the XHTML
specs suggest using the line, but it is not required if the page uses
either UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#strict where is says in part, "An XML
declaration is not required in all XML documents; however XHTML document
authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all their
documents. Such a declaration is required when the character encoding of
the document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16 and no encoding was
determined by a higher-level protocol."

IE only pays attention to the DOCTYPE if it is the very first thing in the
page. Put anything before the doctype and IE will drop to quirks mode.
That's just an IE bug that you'll have to live with.

<xml> appears to cause problems in DW design view. I don't know much about
the internal workings of CS4, but I thought it's rendering engine was based
on some form of Web Kit. (?)

Dunno. I'm still on DW8.
