In this section, we discuss the DOCTYPE declaration for an HTML page. The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is the first tag in your document. It comes before the <html> tag and tells the browser which HTML or XHTML specification the document uses.
The six current specifications are highlighted in the following table.
| Type, tag syntax, and explanation |
HTML or XHTML Strict DTD: Used to enforce strict HTML standards and used with CSS.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
| |
HTML or XHTML Transitional DTD: Used when you need to use font and display formatting, when CSS is not feasible.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
|
HTML or XHTML Frameset DTD: Used when your web site or Web page uses frames.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
