In this vein, I've found a *lot* of strange incompatibilities between browsers go away if I use a proper DOCTYPE header and check my HTML with W3C's validator. It seems without a document type each browser renders according to its particular best guess, which isn't very dependable, and lot of what I thought were browser bugs turned out to be me not following the standard. ;)
