Hiermenus Go Forth, XXV:
Version 4.1.3 - The Complete Script (Full-Window)



Consider the following one-line-display HTML page:

<HTML STYLE="background:pink">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Old BODY</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY STYLE="position:absolute;
             left:50px;top:50px;
             height:80px;width:180px;
             margin:20px;padding:10px;
             background:yellow;">

hello

</BODY>
</HTML>
The HTML above, without a !DOCTYPE declaration, causes IE6 to render in backward-compatible, regular run-of-the-mill IE mode. The background color applied to the HTML element is ignored, as are the position, left, top, height and width style declaration properties.




<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

<HTML STYLE="background:pink">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>New BODY</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY STYLE="position:absolute;
             left:50px;top:50px;
             height:80px;width:180px;
             margin:20px;padding:10px;
             background:yellow;">

hello


</BODY>
</HTML>
The HTML above has a !DOCTYPE declaration. IE6 is forced to render in standards-compliance mode. Notice that the background color applied to the HTML element covers the whole browser window. The BODY element renders as a positioned element. All the style declaration properties are valid. The BODY element, therefore, is only the yellow rectangle in the center of the window.




But how does all this affect HM?
