also, here are a few DTDs:

HTML 4.0, Transitional

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

XHTML 1.0 Transitional

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

the second one is essentially the most current, and you should be using.

Transitional document types include some necessary elements to allow for better backwards compatibility with older browsers, yet allow you to use the latest updated standards.
