RussianThe <!DOCTYPE html> should be used on top. Below the <!DOCTYPE> comes the <html> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> breaks margin element
Question
I use <html> at the top of my website and the margin-top: -30px works fine, but when I use <!DOCTYPE html> it breaks my margin so I can't use the margin option to move my button.
Heres the code so you can have a closer look:

apparently this fixed it:
#signup button{
position: absolute;
margin-left: 185px;
margin-top: -35px;
}
don't know why postion: absolute; fixes the problem.
edit postion element breaks the jQuery script. I guess that I'll have to go without a doctype.
Solution
OTHER TIPS
Different doctypes effect the way css is rendered in the browser. Stick to the <!DOCTYPE html>, and then make adjustments to your html and css to position your content. For example, see this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/curlybraces/FDCtz/. Try changing the margin from -30px to just 30px, and you'll see how the button moves up or down depending on that change.
If your page works without <!DOCTYPE html>, just don’t add it. Apparently your page now works in Quirks Mode (to the extent that anything really works in that mode), so why bother breaking it? Changing a page to work in Standards Mode should be expected to be a major effort, comparable to rewriting the page.
<!DOCTYPE html> Is a document format declaration for your web browser. Older versions of HTML had specific formatting standards that could be used, depending on what type !DOCTYPE you were declaring.
Furthermore, a lot of designers perform a CSS reset to all standard HTML elements:
