Thanks in advance. Pat

The DOC TYPE tells the browsers how to render your page.Since you are using FrontPage which writes deprecated inline code you will want to use the html 4.01 "loose" DOCTYPE like this: quote: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> </body> </html> Understand, though, that FrontPage has no built-in CSS support. If you use FrontPage and layout your site in a table (not the way to do it--use CSS instead) then your site will probably not display properly in IE8 or Firefox, or Opera, etc. anyway. _____________________________ Follow us on TWITTER (in reply to trollabite2)
