Can someone tell me why, when I try to validate a page using this
doctype and charset:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
The validator (returning no errors) says that there is a doctype
override in effect and the page will not be valid until
The proper doctype is included.
I have validated other pages with this DTD and Charset and the only
difference is the current page includes javascript.
Can someone illuminate the rules for the DTD? I understand the
strict/transitional/frameset situation and the url but what is the rest
and how should it be set?
Thank you
Jim Meyer
