Subject: Re: --->Please make sure you specified the DOCTYPE properly
Have you checked your pages to see if there is an invalid character outside the <!DOCTYPE Line? It is also possible
that your ISP is adding its own "Junk" to the top of your page. If this is the case, I would suggest you validate your
pages by upload from your PC.
Hope this helps,
Carole
