Neverside

DOCTYPE generating extra space

http://www.brilla.org/layout.html

and

http://www.brilla.org/layout.php

only difference is the first line. the second (layout.php) has a DOCTYPE line, XHTML 1.0 Strict. along with it comes a big ugly space at the bottom, underneath my footer.

is my DOCTYPE wrong? somewhere else i blew it? anything?

Well they both look EXACTLY the same. And no your doctype is not wrong.

If I was a HTML validator, I wouldn't validate that page...

The HTML document doesn't even have a DOCTYPE

Did you read his post? One does, one doesn't.

they have both an ugly spacer as u call it, try resizing that div to the correct height

Try removing : padding: 15px from both. Then see what the difference is.
Also:
<div style="padding: 15px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Tahoma; line-height: 18px;">hey.<p />
Maybe open the paragraph or get rid of it.

Notice bottom right for the position.

/me applauds webarnes. thanks buddy.

i don't know why it did that, but i don't ask.

my solution if anyone's interested:

<div style="height: 50px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px; background-color: #FFF; background-image: url(foot.jpg); background-position: right; background-repeat: no-repeat;"><div style="background: transparent; padding: 15px; float: left;">Brilla Enterprises &copy; 2004. <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">CSS</a> | <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a></div></div>

Unless I'm mistaken, I think you've got the wrong meta also. Try this:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=iso-8859-1" />
