Javascript doesn't work with the line <!DOCTYPE html> in a html-page

Valerie Meunier

Hi
I tried this javascript program in a HTML-page created in an asp.net web application (.Net Framework) in Visual Studio 2022. It doesn't work, I mean, the text remains at its original position.
But if i remove the first line , then it works. Can somebody explain me how come?
Thanks
V

With the DOCTYPE it is using HTML 5. Without it it is using HTML 4.

Try using:
go.left = "200px";
