Preparing asp.net website for iPad users... html version

When I started my project, the default doctype in visual studio 2010 was set to:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Open in new window

I missed setting it to a more recent version at the time.

Question 1: Would it be sufficient if I change xhtml1-transitional.dtd to xhtml4-restrict.dtd for example in the line above?

Question 2: What version of html is required in order the iPad users can view the site?

Thank you

Hi Cd&,

I got it from http://validator.w3.org, doc type drop box : HTML 4.01 Strict. Sorry for messing up its syntax.

Okay, I thought I had missed a memo. ;^)

Going forward, the only path that looks like it is going to be consistent across all device and browser types for general purpose presentation is HTML5. All major browser manufactures have adopted and embraced the standard and are working hard to produce consistent results.
