In my html file, when I write this, it is displayed correct.
<div class="event" style="top: 30px; left: 10px; width: 584px; height: 80px;">
But as soon as I set strict doctype, the styling goes away. So in firbug I see only style=””.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>.....<body>
<div class="event" style=""></div></body></html>
Complete html code:

You aren’t specifying any units in your inline styles. This will work in quirks mode (no doctype) but not in strict mode (with doctype).
should fix it.
