Hi Bhomis. First, you sould understand about the Web Standards from W3C.
This line just says to the browser which version of the HTML the page is using. The line that you put here, is from XHTML 1.0 Transitional. If your page gets strange with this line, it's because you are out of the XHTML specification. You need to be within the specification, XHTML 1.0, HTML 4, HTML 5, whatever you want to use.
