    Re: Doctype??

    If you know how to use modern HTML, you use the HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE.
    If you don't, you use the HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE.
    http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html

    Content-type should be set to "text/html; charset=xxx", where xxx is the charset your files are saved in. What that is depends on the program you used to create the files, but on Windows, unless you're using a proper text editor, chances are it's Windows-1252.

    Your HTML doesn't look valid in any modern context. But if I were you I'd pick HTML 4 Strict or XHTML, which forces you to use strict clean markup.
