Doctype or no Doctype
Hi all
I would like to know what doctype to use. I know that their is three doctypes. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> and their is five dtd. But what doctype do you use, and what DTD do you use as well. I was thinking in useing a strict dotype with a loosse.dtd. I did not know the out come yet. I will post the out come in a few days time. Can some take a guese what the out come will be?

Re: Doctype or no Doctype
A DTD IS a DOCTYPE!

Recommended DTDs to use in your Web document. I suggest always using STRICT doctypes. HTML or XHTML.

Re: Doctype or no Doctype
XHTML Strict all the way. I think most designers here will tell you the same thing.

Re: Doctype or no Doctype
Lets not start another discussion on whether to go with html or xhtml but just make sure it's strict and that you are implementing it properly.

I prefer HTML, but using Strict (and using it well) is much more important than whether you have an X. Strict forces you to lose a lot of unhealthy 90's baggage (<font> et al).
