You don't just pick a Doctype out of the "sky"
You are using a XHTML Strict doctype
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
But your page is Not XHTML (not even loose (transitional) Html
At best you should be using
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
But after you apply the doctype Validate your page at say
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.richardfisher.com/
PS
And your use of absolute positioning will cause differences no matter what doctype you select

| On Mozilla they do look the same. However, on Netscape and IE the
