I get this errorwhen using the validator I set up on a WinNT IIS machine,
but there is a <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
at the top of the document, and it does this for every document I try to
validate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
Uh oh! I got the following unknown error: D:
\webroot\validate\sp\bin\nsgmls.exe:0:157:96:E: invalid comment
declaration: found name character outside comment but inside comment
declaration Please make sure you specified the DOCTYPE properly!
You should make the first line of your HTML document a DOCTYPE
declaration, for example, for a typical HTML 4.01 document:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<-- ... body of document ... -->
</BODY>
</HTML>
