I have experienced the same problem but I have not seen an answer posted Can anyone tell me why the DOCTYPE etc. must be in UPPER CASE for the 3WC validation? I use Netscape spellchecker which changes all coding to lowercase but then my page won't pass the 3WC HTML 4.01 validation test. Am I missing something ?? Thanks. Kevin Failure results ************************************* Line 1, column 0: <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en"> ^Error: entity was defined here Fatal Error: unrecognized {{DOCTYPE}}; unable to check document I could not parse this document, because it uses a public identifier that is not in my catalog. 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> ...................................
