Thank you Steve,
The problem is that when I use the <DocType HTML>, BBEdit shows
232 syntax errors on the index page alone. If I use 4.01
transitional it only shows about 20 errors. I'm sure that the
232 errors don't need to be designed out but I don't know how to
get BBEdit to show me only the legitimate syntax errors :) I'd
prefer not to change the doctype at all but probably cannot get
BBEdit to handle the orignal one.
Thanks for your help -- Jack

Just use the HTML5 doctype, unless you really, really need something
specific to design for non-standard modes:
<!DOCTYPE html>

BBedit does not recognize the DocType and assumes it to be HTML
5. This cause problems in syntax checking, etc.
What is the best way to handle this problem. I am hesitant to
change the doctype because of potential browser rendering
problems. I do not know why this doctype was originally used by
the designer.
Thanks in advance -- Jack
