Well, e.g. you have this bloody statement on top of your html file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Does the browser really need that??? Does the browser really look it up??? Or is he just interested in the words "strict", "transitional", "loose", "frameset", "xhtml" and "html"? <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> The given url - I guess the browsers all over the world can not really look it up. It's just a hint. Damn it - because if you could add a dtd file url with initial values which you could manipulate than - "Than what??!" Jan C. Faerber |
