in my html code I use css for absolute positing of a sit map. One of my boytom styles #1935 works fine in IE but in Firefox it displays at the top left of the screen.

The address of the page is: http://www.barryrich.net/timeline/timelinemap.htm

It's a yellow block with text (1935)

Thanks for any advice on this.

Without a doctype declared, I believe Firefox parses this as HTML 4.01. In that case you can't start the name of a div with a number. I suggest changing the name of the div to start with a letter.

Changed the code and it is fine, thank you. Can us suggest a doctype to use for that code?

Probably no reason why you can't just use HTML5. The doctype is:

That should be the very first line of the document. Check out our developer docs on HTLM5 - https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/HTML5
