Ok.

&
http://pulsedesign.biz/printer/css-frameset.html
& the original (strict)

Again, only changing the doctype. This time as per "what you were talking about", keeping it the same xhtml but changing the strict/transitional. Tested in FF 2.0x and Safari on OSX, and IE 6.0x on Windows XP. All still render EXACTLY the same.

What???? Wow, no kidding? It's written for xhtml 1.0 strict. You did notice only the
DOCTYPE was changed right? Because we're talking about changing doctypes, not rewriting an entire page after changing the doctype. Yet even in the example shown, a design written in xhtml strict code, can still have the doctype changed to a totally different type (html 4.01) which completely invalidates the code, and it still renders EXACTLY the same in all browsers.
.........So would you please just post up an example of two designs. Code on both exactly the same, with just the doctype changed. Where the end result is the design being rendered differently?
