If you use IE's nonstandard extensions, your code will not work on other browsers.

I use two kinds of pages, depending on who I expect to use it:

- XHTML 1.0 Strict for pages I expect to be read mainly in the US. The problem is that my ISP adds stuff that doesn't validate in any doctype, to display their stupid ads.

- Non-doctype pages which almost validate, but can also be read on some of the older browsers and computers in foreign countries, including those using the browsers of the '80s and '90s.

I also writer my code so that it displays the same on IE and FF.
