As per http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-doctype
A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and
without one it is impossible to reliably validate a document.
why dont we have it in front page 2003 under help and how to write it
the sites made by me with the help of front page fails at validation

regards
ravi

In FrontPage 2003, you can add a DOCTYPE to your pages by using Code
Snippets, http://mvp.wiserways.com/tutorials/c...ets/index.html
although IIRC, you need to edit the one that comes with FP2003. You can also
do it manually, and add it to the template that gets used when creating new
pages: http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/tutori...pesolution.asp

I think that's correct. The HTML4.01 Transitional one is missing the URL
part, and will actually put IE into quirks mode.....

The correct doctype is -

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
