Hi, I have a question - and I apologise if the answer is obvious, but I was never a programmer so I don't know. From what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong) the DTD and HTML Lang attribute are used by browsers/ATs to determine the code and language used in order to best represent a site. My question is this: Can these browsers/ATs still read (and interpret) the DTD and HTML Lang attribute if it is not at the very beginning of the document? for example: <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=US-ASCII"> <!--alang="en"</HEAD> <BODY TEXT="000000" BGCOLOR="FFFFFF"> <!-- --> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Amputations</title><meta http-equiv="content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET="iso-8859-1"> ... This is a Lotus Notes problem - this Content Management System automatically generates HTML code from a word processing type environment. The first five lines are automatically generated by Notes and cannot be tinkered with in any way (and if they can I would be more than happy to admit my error and learn how!)
