Indeed. No matter what the DOCTYPE tag might say, if too many of the
wrong type of errors are encountered by the browser when rendering a
page, it will fall back to "quirks" mode rather than standards compliant
mode. Once that happens, all bets are off on the look of a site.
Firefox tells me that www.coco3.com is rendering in "quirks mode" which
means that there is too much invalid markup in the page. It would not
surprise me in the least to find that the page starts looking correct if
the errors from http://validator.w3.org/ are corrected. In particular, a
lot of the goofball attributes (like "leftmargin", etc.) are moved into
a stylesheet.
