I want to use a gallery similar to the following example, but there's obviously something that's xml because it needs that doctype declared in order to work correctly...and I don't particularly want to do this.

(you can see the css by viewing the source...ie, it's not a seperate file)
I know jack shit about XML and if all you're going to do is say something rude, then you're lame.

I want to have an image gallery like the one used on that page (twelve.html)

so when I use the code to make my own gallery, it will only work if I put


at the top of my page...before I declare the page doctype


and I want to know why? where is there xml in the image gallery code?

uh the doctype declaration is for xhtml, which is completely different.

And why wouldnt you want to do that? It doesnt change anything functionally in the page, and it's only going to MAYBE be required for IE to view it correctly if you have problems in the CSS and it wants to default back to an older renderer.

I was just saying that I placed it before the doctype...

and it won't fuck up any functionality on the page? cause that's what I was worried about. I just didn't think adding uneeded code was a good idea. But if you say it isn't a concern then thank you

as long as your code is correct, then no it wont make any difference.

basically declaring the doctype forces interpreting browsers into "strict" mode, where they render more exactly what the code says. If IE encounters CSS/html errors, it drops back into its debug mode (or whatever the hell the official name is) and renders the page as best it can, which usually results in what you intended, but fucks it to all hell in other browsers.

I got it straight from the code on the page I linked to? And I need the initial xml statement
