The main reason to make it W3 compliant is to let it work in all browsers.

dtd file?, do you mean how to validate it?

You have to make it W3 compliant, if it's not, on that website it will give the errors that you should fix.

Mainly it is the invalid usage of "/".

Just to clarify you don't need the doctype declartion files - just inhclude a GOOD DTD at the top of your page...

 

My preferred DTD?

 

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

 

- it takes IE out of quirks mode which is teh single biggest problem developers have to contend with - there are othe DTD's that do this but I like the structure of xhtml1.1 in terms of standards compliance that your are 'forced' to adopt when validating...

That DTD looks like 1.0 transitional to me not 1.1

And 1.0 transitional ignores almost all errors.
