Messing around with a bit of code, I was trying to do a quick floating window to receive some ajax-built content. This was just a quickie proof of concept thing rather than anything serious.
Anyway, the div was all over the place in IE7 compared to Firefox, and it had issues with elements showing from behind the div.
I racked my brain for hours, setting the z-index, trying this, that and the other. In the end, I added a simple:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
After this, things started working! I couldn't believe that something so simple would affect my CSS so drastically, so let that be a warning to you.

I've been looking at evvective and stylish ways to show off room bookings and came up with this.
The room list is static, while the internal content slides smoothly based on the timeframe selected.
I didn't use a framework, instead coding this myself.
As such I haven't had time to streamline the code yet (as usual) but it's free to use if anyone wants it.
All that's missing is adding your own code to reflect the bookings.
The full source code is available here.
