What does this code stand for, or what is it's function?:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
 
I assume you're not talking about the <head> and <html> tags in there. The
other 2 are headers, which the browser can use to help in displaying the
content of the page. There are various types of documents that can be
downloaded by a browser, and these headers identify the type of document,
version of HTML, language, content type, and character set used.
