I tried both these doctypes below and the doctype for 4.01 strict but keep getting the error message. I am ready to pull my hair out! I don't want to mess with the mark up too much as the site is supposed to be redone in the near future. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Riva

there's some pretty old mark up in there:
topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
bgcolor="#000000"

go with something that will at least validate that, haven't gone to
the validator to check, one of these should work if all your elements
are properly nested/closed iirc:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
