As you were told before, the DOCTYPE should match the content that you are using. &nbsp;The DOCTYPE tells the browser which set of rules you think you are using. &nbsp;There are somewhat different requirements for the different DOCTYPEs even though the browser will generally try to render whatever you give it.

Determining Document Type

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
