bronzemonkey Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Every doctype is going to show you errors in the validator because your markup is full of errors. You should use one of the html 4.01 doctypes and read this - http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Doctype. Then go through each error that the validator highlights and correct them one by one. Read some html and css tutorials if you don't know what you are doing - http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp.

You should strive to work with xhtml 1.0 strict, but since you have so many errors, then I'm not suprised you can't get any to work!

Sorry the article didn't help. I know the difference between 4.01 html and xhtml 1.0 strict. I want to know the difference between xthml 1.0 and xhtml 1.1 as you mentioned before.
