DOCTYPE and XML - confused!

S

Stephen

Hi

FP2000 has included the following on my pages.

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
<mso:CustomDocumentProperties>
<mso:Approval_x0020_Level msdt:dt="string"></mso:Approval_x0020_Level>
<mso:Categories msdt:dt="string">Business</mso:Categories>
<mso:Assigned_x0020_To msdt:dt="string"></mso:Assigned_x0020_To>
</mso:CustomDocumentProperties>
</xml><![endif]-->

As it seems to be "xml" (of which I know nothing about!)
should I change my

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

TO

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

I'm really not sure, because reading up on this - it seems to suggest that
you shouldn't use XHTML unless you have changed all the site pages.

But if it's using xml on the page . . . . .

I'm confused.

Thanks, Stephen

Leave your doctype alone.

You can even delete that whole code block. It's not placed by FP, but
instead it reveals that you created that page in a Microsoft Office
application. The code block pertains to maintaining interoperability
between Office apps. Since this is a web page, you do not need it.

Actually it is generated by FP when you assign Categories to pages in a FP Site

Thanks - didn't realize that. Please explain to me what this does for you
on the web? You should still be able to remove it with no consequences,
right?

Lets you use the Category Web for grouping of pages on a TOC type page
- IMHO not a useful tool
