[Pmwiki-users] DOCTYPE problem? feature?

Fri May 9 21:43:28 CDT 2003

I recently was trying to format a page with a table of width='100%'
height='100%' and IE would only display the page with a width of 100%.  I
wasn't able to correct this problem until I modified the DOCTYPE to just:

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

leaving off the standard pmwiki extension to that:
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/loose.dtd"

Why was that dtd file used? And is disabling height=100% a feature or a
problem?

Thanks,
J.R.
