w3c markup validation service says... 2 errors

w3c markup validation service says... 2 errors

Postby qen on Sun Nov 30, 2008 1:18 pm

I have just finished my webpage, almost, and I thought I'd run it through the w3c validation service. I'm not a web dev so all of this is copy and paste, its got java, javascript and html of course. Luckily I only have two errors, simple ones and was hoping somebody could tell me exactly what I need to do to remedy these:

1: Mismatch between Public and System identifiers in the DOCTYPE declaration

This document uses an inconsistent DOCTYPE declaration. The Public Identifier -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN declares the HTML 4.01 Transitional document type, but the associated System Identifier Transitional is http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd does not match this document type.

The recommended System Identifier for HTML 4.01 Transitional is http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd.

The safest way to use a correct DOCTYPE declaration is to copy and paste one from the recommended list and avoid editing that part of your markup by hand.


2: Line 4, Column 16: delimiter """ invalid: only delimiter ">", delimiter "[", "CDATA", "NDATA", "SDATA" and parameter separators are allowed.
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


This stuff looks simple, but I've tried the suggestions it gives and not really understood it. my webpage is below so you can try it, thanks!
