what goes before <body> (html header)?
Hi,
I'm sorry to ask this basic thing but I can't find it clearly described anywhere. I am trying to find out what needs to go before the <body> of the html document - I know I need a DOCTYPE definition, at the moment I'm using this one, although I don't know if it's the right one to use (I have seen things recommending HTML 4.0 strict instead) - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Then the <html> tag Then within the <head> bit I've got <title> and this ... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="web1.css"/> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> the meta bit was copied and pasted from advice in another thread, I have read that there are other ways of doing this bit but nothing that has been clear enough for my brain! Should there be more meta bits? I haven't added this (the meta bit) all my pages yet and I want to do everything at once rather than have to keep changing them all! My site is at http://www.northwiltsholidayclub.org.uk/ I am still working on it, it's my first try. I would welcome any advice on DOCTYPE as well as the meta stuff. Does anyone know a good basic tutorial for this? Thanks

Re: what goes before <body> (html header)?
Yeah what you have now is so far so good. You can use the XHTML strict doc type because you are coding in xhtml!
Other meta tags can be keywords, descriptions, robots info. Here is a good link full of info!http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2167931
