Hi,
Having doctype declaration at the beginning of an html page (using <!DOCTYPE
html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-
transitional.dtd">) makes all the html controls lose their position (using
absolute positions) and appear in the first page line. Is there any workaround?
I do need the doctype declaration on my pages.
Thanks.

Do your pages validate W3C XHTML ?
Use http://validator.w3.org/

Reporter: Can you provide a testcase where we can see the problem?
This problem is most likely because of invalid HTML code in your page. See
http://mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ for differences between standards
compliant mode (with the XHTML 1.0 DOCTYPE) and quikrs mode (without the
DOCTYPE).

most probably is malformed xhtml or invalid css, besides check your page with
validator.w3.org, i suggests you to check with CSS validator also :)

As bzbarsky said, you didn't put units on your lengths in the CSS. "left: 424;
top: 19;" is not valid CSS. You need to write "left: 424px; top: 19px;" instead.
Marking INVALID.
