HTML td will not break to new line with <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”>
Question
I am having an issue with getting table cell to respond to styles as expected. Please do not recommend using div and CSS. I know it is better, but not appropriate for this particular issue. I also cannot change the doctype because it is CMS with closed source. This works as expected with the XHTML doctype
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
.foottable{
width:100%;
table-layout:fixed;
}
.foottable td{
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="foottable">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<b>About</b>
<a href="info.html">About</a>
<a href="press.html">Press</a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://blog.com/">Blog</a>
<a href="events.html">Events</a>
<a href="stores.html">Store Locations</a>
<a href="ind.html">Site Map</a>
</td>
<td>
<b>Customer Service</b>
<a href="shipping.html">Shipping</a>
<a href="returnpolicy.html">Returns</a>
<a href="giftcert.html">Gift Certificates</a>
<a href="privacypolicy.html">Privacy Policy</a>
<a href="terms.html">Terms & Conditions</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
As soon as the doctype is HTML 4.01 it does not work as expected
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<style>
.foottable{
width:100%;
table-layout:fixed;
}
.foottable td{
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="foottable">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<b>About</b>
<a href="info.html">About</a>
<a href="press.html">Press</a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://blog.com/">Blog</a>
<a href="events.html">Events</a>
<a href="stores.html">Store Locations</a>
<a href="ind.html">Site Map</a>
</td>
<td>
<b>Customer Service</b>
<a href="shipping.html">Shipping</a>
<a href="returnpolicy.html">Returns</a>
<a href="giftcert.html">Gift Certificates</a>
<a href="privacypolicy.html">Privacy Policy</a>
<a href="terms.html">Terms & Conditions</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
This is what I expect to see:

Anyone have any insight to why the doctype does not set the td on their own line? I am using Chrome. I checked firefox and it works as expected.

As noted above:
I did find the ability to enable the loose definition "w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"; which solved the issue.
