<div class="section" id="menu"> or <div class="subsection" id="menu">

Hello,
I tried to include the menu on different pages using
<?php include_once "menu-italiano.html"; ?>
or whatever the menu is called depending on the language.
The menu is inserted on pages which already have a main heading with
a <div class="section" id="...">
Now the problem is that I would like to use a model where the main heading
of the menu is not as much important as the main heading of the whole page
and the menu is regarded as just a part of it. Therefore I thought that I
would use <div class="subsection" id="menu">
However the html file menu-italiano.html does not validate
http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/vali...l&warnings=yes
Now I wonder:
whether I should add the document type declaration even if it is a file
which is included and which place in the hierarchy the first <div class> in
the menu should have, the first (section) or the second (subsection)?
The former would suit the inserted html document as such but the latter
would suite the structure of the whole main page where the menu is inserted,
wouldn´t it?

Whoah! First read the error message! 'section' vs 'subsection' has
nothing to do with the error:

Line 1, character 1:
<div class"subsection" id="menu">
^
There is you error, no '=' should be

<div class="subsection" id="menu">

Why not validate it as part of document it's included in?

Let's say index.php includes menu-italiano.html. Validate index.php and
menu-italiano.html is validated at the same time.

You can't have two document type declaration in the same HTML document.

I prefer to put menus at the top of the HTML document, something like
this:

<h1>Main heading</h1>

<div class="menu">
<h2>Menu</h2>
<ul>
<li>Menu item</li>
<li>Menu item</li>
<li>Menu item</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="main_text">
<h2>Document text</h2>
<p>Blah, blah, blah...</p>
</div>

You are right.
I made a mistake (certainly not the first and probably and unfortunately not
the last...)

No, I cannot. So the only way seems to try and validate only the main
document which includes the menu as well.
Now https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/it/benvenuti.php validates

Well, I have a <div class="subsection" id="head">
in between with a kind of introduction.
