Html code?

Fred · Sep 30, 2003

I tried to get a company to validate my website but the message came back as "No DOCTYPE specified". I've looked at their sites html files and just above the 'head' it reads as below.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

I use FP2002 and have never seen such an html code at the top of the page. Should there be one????

It is really only required if you want to validate your HTML.

See the following link:

And if you want to force IE6 into standards compliant mode.
