I have read extensively on setting up the "doctype" but I'm still a bit
confused. The site is: www.vohdenassociates.com I am using FP 2003 and XP Pro) When I do what Ronx suggested: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I loose the images on the page and the FP automatically puts back the code: <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns  ="urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> I obviously do not know what I am doing so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance folks. |

probably because you're using vml...textboxes, draw, autoshapes? they are IE
5+ only and may be the source of the problem.

You are using VML graphics.
If you want your pages to validate, remove all the VML. VML is created when using WordArt, TextBoxes, ShapeArt and any other objects created from the FrontPage drawing toolbar. Short answer is: if you use VML graphics, you cannot use a valid !DOCTYPE, and your pages will never validate. As Rob mentioned, anyone NOT using Internet Explorer will see very low quality graphics, if they see any at all. -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

Thanks for expanding my response. You can tell when I'm tired, or have run
out of letters on my keyboard when I don't use capitalization :-) "Ronx" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... | You are using VML graphics. | If you want your pages to validate, remove all the VML. | VML is created when using WordArt, TextBoxes, ShapeArt and any other | objects created from the FrontPage drawing toolbar. | | Short answer is: if you use VML graphics, you cannot use a valid | !DOCTYPE, and your pages will never validate. | As Rob mentioned, anyone NOT using Internet Explorer will see very low | quality graphics, if they see any at all. | -- | Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) | Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. | FrontPage Support: http://www.frontpagemvps.com/ | | | "Spyder2" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message | news:04DC20CF-501C-4608-992E-(E-Mail Removed)... | > I have read extensively on setting up the "doctype" but I'm still a | bit | > confused. | > The site is: www.vohdenassociates.com | > I am using FP 2003 and XP Pro) | > | > When I do what Ronx suggested: | > | > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" | > "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> | > <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; | > charset=iso-8859-1"> | > | > I loose the images on the page and the FP automatically puts back | the code: | > | > <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" | > xmlns ="urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"| > xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> | > | > I obviously do not know what I am doing so any help would be | appreciated. | > Thanks in advance folks. | | |
