Hello Validating the html on a site built this week, and the only remaining uncorrected error is to do with the doctype. I don't understand the instruction: I tried putting in the line the validator says is missing but that produced a new error. At the moment I have <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> If I have to add <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> where does it go, and doesn't that mean two closing </html> tags at the foot of the page instead of the normal one? URL, if needed (this is the development area - there is a temporary page on the client's domain www.egg-skelter.co.uk) http://www.longitude0.co.uk/egg-skelter/development/index.php TVIA Rachel On two lines like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> will work fine.
