Problems with html code locations - doctype

[paJill]

I am totally clueless about webpages, but somehow managed to build one and
get it on the web. To validate it, they say I need to add a doctype. I
found the code, but can't seem to get it at the very top of the source code.
I have tried moving it all over the page, but is always goes to the bottom of
the source code. I am having the same problem with my meta tags - can't get
them moved to the top. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Not really. There's not much point in running the generated code through a
validator anyway, as no matter what doctype you use, you will end up with
piles and piles of errors.

learn to write html and obey all the rules...other than that using any
wysiwyg program to generate pages is not likely to validate unless you clean
up the code afterwards anyway.

personally...if it works in the major browsers i test it in...i'd don't
bother with validation..but I don't run any ecommerce sites so this is jmo.
