Default I use fp2000 It does not have doctype, can i add this to web site


I use fp2000. I notice my html does not have a doc type code and I think I
am not getting the best ranking because of this. Can I add a doctype and
what should I use ? My site www.carpet-cleaning-machines.com . I will also
be upgrading soon to fp2003. Will that auto give me doctype ?

A valid and complete doctype will not affect your ranking, but it will
affect your site's rendering in the browsers (perhaps negatively, if you
have used invalid/proprietary markup).

Use this one for HTML 4.01 Transitional -

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

If you want to make sure a DOCTYPE is included in all new pages that you
create, you can modify the template:

Yes, definately do that. When I was still using FP, I had this in that file
so I did not have to put it in each time:
-----------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<title>Untitled 1</title>
</head>
------------------------------------

Your doctype will vary, for FP you probably want HTML 4.01.
