When using a specific doctype inside a div with the position set to absolute, the options window for any dropdown list in the toolbar (in addition to other tool options with windows like Insert Table) align to the top of the window instead of below the tool icon. I tested with setting the position to relative and with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">. Either addresses the issue. However both cause other issue with my code that are not easy to address.
Here is a sample code snippet illustrating the problem. I have also attached an image to show the position issue.

Hi Joshua,
RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (as well as MS AJAX itself) are developed and meant to perform best in standards compliance mode. From the code you've sent I can see that your page is in quirks mode (HTML 4 Transitional). We do not support non-standards compliant pages. If you change your doctype to XHTML1.0 or XHTML1.1 the control will paint correctly.

Thanks for your assistance with this issue. I concur that updating the doctype corrects the behavior.
