[thelist] XHTML tip

Wed May 23 10:33:58 CDT 2001

Hi all,

Just did some stat checking this morning and found a pile of 404s. Ran it 
through the link checker at the W3C (http://validator.w3.org/checklink) and 
my XHTML DTD at the top of the page was not right.

I was using the DTD from the W3C and I just looked again, they leave the 
url off which was bouncing a 404 to the web site so, in case someone else 
doesn't know, here's a bit of a tip I guess for XHTML trans and PHP:

<tip type="validating XHTML" author "tamara">

Use this for validating XHTML and hopefully avoid 404 errors:

<!DOCTYPE html
	PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   	"DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
  	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

</tip>

Hope this helps someone anyway. And I'm switching /all/ headers to php 
includes beginning NOW!
