Your !doctype is malformed. Look at the HTML specifications to find the exact !doctype that is suitable for your document and copy it (preferably with copy & paste) exactly, to the letter and punctuation. Saying just <!DOCTYPE foo> would say only that the root element's name is foo. (Using html instead of html has no magic effect.)

One more point in favor of posting plain text, not quasi-HTML. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
