When I added this for my Dropdown Menu, It's changed a size of the cotent area..(LINKS BELOW)

** With Doctype and Dropdown Menu
http://footygfx.co.uk/scotbase/index.html

** Without Doctype and With Dropdown Menu
http://footygfx.co.uk/scotbase/index2.html
_

it's not ignored the CSS but it's changed ... well you can see what it's changed.

Also I seem to have a structure problem, view the template on different
resolutions, It's leaving gabs etc....How do i fix that?

Any Tips..

Thanks, Much Appreciated

You'll need to provide more code -- perhaps the site?

This displays fine:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <style>
      p {
        position:absolute;
        top:5%;
        left:35%;
        width:30%;
        height:5%;
        padding-top:5%;
        padding-bottom:5%;
        text-align:center;
        border:1px #000000 solid;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Here's some text</p>
  </body>
</html>

I've explained it a little bad, it's not ignored the CSS but it's changed ... well you can see what it's changed.

Also I seem to have a structure problem, view the template on different
resolutions, It's leaving gabs etc....How do i fix that?

Ah, I don't mess with table-based layouts. I reconstruct them from the ground up. Hopefully someone else who uses the antiquated-table-based layout method can help. You may want to study proper CSS techniques, however, as tables are meant for displaying data, not laying out your page.

I know I know...I'm learning full CSS over the summer, I just need this website up and running - Don't have time to learn it at the moment!
