Why DOCTYPE destroy my page?

yes the reply is I'm a very bad css coder but I really need to understand that, I created a page without using any doctype and the things goes whell in IE, FF and Chrome, except one or two very little thing, then I decided to add a doctype to see, but everything is displayed anyhow.

Google doesn't help me...

The page without doctype: http://commenttrouver.com/test/indexwithout.php

And with : http://commenttrouver.com/test/index.php

Thank you

Including (most) Doctypes, triggers Standards mode in browsers.

They stop emulating the bugs that appeared in older versions of browsers and more rigorously apply the standards (such as the requirement to treat a CSS length without a unit as "invalid and to be ignored" instead of "pixels").

Then worry about why anything still broken is broken.
