[css-d] doctype
HI, Although it's not a CSS question it is strongly related to validation which is something we all care about at css-discuss so I am sticking my neck out a bit but hope to get an OK response. I have validated a very simple layout and although it validates I am getting a few warnings: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwch.redrunner.co.uk%2Fcharset=%28detect+automatically%29doctype=Inlinegroup=0user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.767 Most seem to be to do with the doctype which is something I know little about. Basically I want to chose the easiest one to use (easy in the sense of validation). The results gave me a link to a page of different doctypes and what I think is I should be choosing either HTML 4.0.1, or xhtml 1.0, Transitional. Am I right? What's the difference? The site I am going to be using is going to be strictly HTML, CSS and images. I may, depending on results need to use a PNG fix.

I recommend 4.01 strict. If it's a new page, you shouldn't use transitional. That's for the transition of an old page to valid markup.

Re: [css-d] doctype
Hi, So I have made it 'strict' HTML, but it is now giving me some rubbish about character encoding. OK I have not added it because when i do it seems that it can't be validated. !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd html head titleWorcester Community Housing | Rewards/title I left the gap because that is where I have tried to put this line: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 / What gives, I can't even pass 100% before writing anything!

Fix this or, if you prefer using XHTML, change the DTD as Norman suggests. -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | articles and tutorials www.ez-css.org | ultra light CSS framework __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
