I have a page with a bit of DHTML that I wrote years ago that I'm
updating.

This works as expected without a doctype, but when I add a html 4.01
doctype, strange things happen.

IE has trouble redrawing the page background color (I'm adding a rule
for that), it's funky and sometimes it leaves a bit of the previous
color. In Fire Fox, reading element positions is way wrong (I get 0 0
on somethings).

The page passes W3C validation.

What gives?
