Quick... anything I'm missing?

**seodevhead** · Nov 2, 2006 16:43

I just had to post this snippet for my XHTML header file. Thought you guys would know DOCTYPE's and such better than me. Is there anything below that is wrong, or missing, or otherwise needs to be added/deleted? Thanks.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>This is the title.</title>

an alternative:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>This is the title.</title>

the difference is that this one's for HTML

there's another thread or two somewhere around here which explains that unless you are going to serve your pages with the appropriate mime type, which IE doesn't understand anyway, then you should use HTML and not XHTML
