[Typo3] Typo3+Netscape

Hi,

having a doctype in th template is not enough, as typo adds its own 
deoctype declaration. So instead of the template file i usually define 
it in the root template:

page.config.doctype = <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

And althought it helps (as u correctly sad it forces IE to follow the 
appropriate doctype standards), it won't guarantee same appearance, 
simply because a modern template is layouted via css and not table, and 
IE has serious issues with css support (it even doesnt understand such 
basick properties as min-height or max-width).

So what you should do is first make a w3c valid template file and check 
it in more platforms and browsers, and it it's okay everywhere (maybe 
with conditional css etc) then simply set the above page.config.doctype 
and optionally the include for different css files if needed (althought 
i would suggest avoid it, and do it on css level if absoultelly 
necessary ort you might have problems in the future eg with ie 7.0) and 
you are done.

bye, hirisov
