Using the DOCTYPE Tag

Having trouble with your Web pages? Can't get them to display correctly in your browser? It might be that your page is a little "quirky."

There are several reasons why Web pages do not display properly, such as omitting a required end tag, improperly formatting a table, JavaScript errors, CSS errors, incorrect server requests, etc. Often, these errors happen because Web developers do not take the time to validate their work. In other cases they are a result of a lack of knowledge regarding the proper formatting and coding of Web pages.
