seymourjames,

That's been my attempt, but it isn't happening for some reason. I've redone the template from scratch and had "everything" in order and removed that Mike has suggested and still doesn't appear properly......so I give.

I'll just hold back on my site until I can find a good "visual" compliant standard editor for free that will work for me or wait till I have the cash and buy and purchase an editor that hopefully works for me.

Thanks for everyone's help, it's greatly appreciated.

Randy

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I decided to do some reading at W3Schools Online Web Tutorials to further my knowledge of XHTML.

Here is the answer. Taken from thier site.

Quote:
Document Type Definitions (DTD)

* A DTD specifies the syntax of a web page in SGML
* DTDs are used by SGML applications, such as HTML, to specify rules for documents of a particular type, including a set of elements and entity declarations
* An XHTML DTD describes in precise, computer-readable language, the allowed syntax of XHTML markup

There are three XHTML DTDs:

* STRICT
* TRANSITIONAL
* FRAMESET

XHTML 1.0 Strict

<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Use the strict DOCTYPE when you want really clean markup, free of presentational clutter. Use together with CSS.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional

<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Use the transitional DOCTYPE when you want to still use HTML's presentational features.
XHTML 1.0 Frameset

<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Use the frameset DOCTYPE when you want to use HTML Frames to split the web page into two or more frames.
Now I can relax and keep creating. I took a lot of what Mike had to say and applied what i could, the more I did made me go to W3School so I could view thier articles. I went page by page and edited my template to conform to the correct XHTML standard. One page at a time and checking my file along the way for any mistakes.

Thanks to everyone!!!! You don't know how much I appreciate your time and the community here.

Randy
