Hello,
I use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
To verify what your doc type should be. I would suggest running your
source html
from your browser using html tidy
(http://www.w3c.org/People/Raggett/tidy/)
and see what it reports.
Also I would put the DOCTYPE in a wrapper component so all of your
pages get the DOCTYPE.
This saves you from having to put it in each component page's html file.
Also if you don't already use tidy, I would recommend it for checking
the conformance of
your rendered html source.
You can then fix the problems in your components (for the most part)
but it is problematic on
the Apple components.

What HTML 4 DOC TYPE tags can be used in my WebObjects components
safely?
WebObjects HTML template uses this as default:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
Are any of you using one of these for example or an XHTML doc type and
does the auto-generated WO HTML comply?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
Is there advantages to using one of the newer ones (for example to get
better standards rendering of my CSS?
Comments or experiences appreciated....
