Hi carbonize

One hand coder raising his hand timidly! :) For HTML sites, I generally go for the 4.01 Transitional doctype. As far as XHTML goes... I'm a bit of a newbie, and struggling to grasp all the nuances between one form and another! It certainly encourages a greater level of care from the coding perspective!
One site I've been asked to modify uses the following doctype:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Seems as though the designers wanted to keep their options open.. but at the moment the site doesn't validate as either Strict or Transitional. Think I could have my work cut out here!! :c)

Paul
