Default doctype problem
Iam currently building a website and everything is a'ok in firefox, safari etc but im getting nasty gaps between my header image and my image below the header which is just a pic of a line.

Now i know this is a doc type problem but cant find the right doc type does anyone know it?

this is the website:

White Hawk Designs

{only got a home page at the moment, i wanna fix this bug before i code the other pages}

Thanks guys

Hmmmm, you don't have any html tags. I'd drop your current code into this set up:

Code:




<font color="Red">put original content here</font>




put original content here
EDIT: Don't know if that'll sort your image problem though.

Also, what's with the "Firefox" "Explorer" "Safari" "Opera" images at the bottom? Is that suggesting what browsers the website works in? I'd recommend against doing anything to the effect of "viewed best in blah-de-blah" as it is limiting and makes you look like you can only code to one or a few browsers. A good designer makes his sites work on as many browsers as possible (preferably all) and certainly doesn't sell himself short by saying "I only design sites for these browsers," even if it is the list of browsers that covers 98% of the internet-surfing population; it just makes you look like less than you are. Just a tip!

Looks good to me... IE7

BUT... It's not W3C Compliant as you tout.

Markup Validation: FAILED 20 Errors

W3C CSS Validation: FAILED 2 Errors 49 Warnings

Opacity isn't valid per the CSS 2.1 standards (hopefully in 3.0)

SInce I like your design, I thought I'd throw this in for you:
