Re: My banner won't display when using "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"

It looks like there's a more general problem with that line and it has been double-spaced. Consequently the doc type statement is on the second line instead of being the very first thing. This in turn means that some browsers (including Firefox) won't recognise it and therefore aren't sure how to interpret some aspects of the layout, which may include your banner.
