Jeff, I tend to use this doc type:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> This is for several reasons: 1. I like to "believe" that I can create an xhtml standard compliant website... Sometimes that is wishful thinking, but I aim high. 2. It actually changes the way the browsers render code in newer browsers and I am now used to writing code that is appropriate for that doc type (ex. in xhtml images have line-heights unlike earlier versions which will put "padding" around the image even if it has a break after it). Mostly though, its just about moving forward, staying with the times, and working towards standards. .......................

And why? I've noticed as I've gone thru various solutions to various problems that have been posted online, that when you get their sample files, the <!DOCTYPE changes a lot. Some people use HTML 4.01 Transitional, and some use strict XHTML 1.0, or maybe 1.1, etc I'm going to be honest, and admit that the types of applications I create are really not "enterprise" applications, nor have I ever done anything that sits behind any kind of corporate firewall, so my experience is really limited to client-driven, advertising-related, consumer websites. As such, I've really never strayed from Dreamweaver's default HMTL 4.01 transitional doctype. What doctypes do others use, and is that a question that's a "framework debate" all over again? Or are there very specific reasons you'd choose one doctype over the other. Is there a decent tutorial on doctypes *from the CF developer* perspective? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246417 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
