Hello everyone - I'm new to the forum and pretty new to HTML programming in general. I have a question about Doctype's which must be placed at the top of the HTML page.<br />
On my page <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.starshidefire.com/intro.html">www.starshidefire.com/intro.html</a><!-- w --> (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.starshidefire.com/intro.html">http://www.starshidefire.com/intro.html</a><!-- m -->) which type of Doctype do I use? Whenever i try and validate the code using w3.org it says I am using an incorrect doctype. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks - Shawn<br />

<br />
but you are using the correct one. just set w3 to autodetect.<!--content-->See this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.starshidefire.com%2Fintro.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&sp=1&outline=1&verbose=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... &verbose=1</a><!-- m --><br />

<br />
Fill in a value: ALIGN="" -- the align cannot be BLANK.<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll find it easier to do all tags and attributes in lower case.<br />
<br />
<br />
Put all attribute values in "quotes" so that VALUE=#000000 becomes VALUE="#000000" instead.<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll need <object> instead of <embed> for the Flash file.<br />
<br />
<br />
Add the meta description and meta keywords tags for search engines to have at least something to index on the page.<br />
<br />
<br />
Make sure you have a skip movie link to the next section of the site.<br />
