No DOCTYPE Found! Falling Back to HTML 4.01 Transitional
A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and
without one it is impossible to reliably validate this document. I am
falling back
to "HTML 4.01 Transitional" and will attempt to validate the document
anyway, but this is very likely to produce spurious error messages for most
non-trivial
documents.
So what should I do?
Tell me more...
DOCTYPE Fallback in effect!
The DOCTYPE Declaration in your document was not recognized. This probably
means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that
the
Declaration is not using correct syntax. Validation has been performed using
a default "fallback" Document Type Definition that closely resembles HTML
4.01 Transitional, but the document will not be Valid until you have
corrected the problem with the DOCTYPE Declaration.
This page is not Valid
HTML 4.01
Transitional!
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
List of 1 items
1. Line 1, column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML
SYSTEM>"
<html>
The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration.
The Validator has tried to validate with the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, but
this
is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of
incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the
proper DOCTYPE
declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above
-- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be
declared
to be valid.
