No, I don't know where you found that, but what you were looking for was 
on the page I linked to.  You didn't need to look anywhere else.

I said to use either HTML 4.01 Strict or Transitional.  If you read the 
document I linked to, you would have found these:

HTML 4.01 Strict:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">


HTML 4.01 Transitional:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


You need to start the document with either of those <!DOCTYPEs.  Since 
you are not using frames, you should not use the frameset DTD.
