CSS and Doctypes

    I have seen the following doctype around

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

    however when used in conjunction with css, specifically height:100% on certain <div> tags, it ignores it completely.

    But if I change the doctype to something else, say

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

    it works perfectly

    Can anyone answer why this is so
