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

I could not parse this document, because it uses a public identifier

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>
