I am using CoffeCup to edit html and when I create a new document, it defaults to the XHTML DOC TYPE, Transitional.
What I am wondering is if I overwrite the doc type with the HTML 4.01 Strict information, which you suggest we use, is the rest of the information on the webpage then read correctly by browsers if I do that?
I guess what I am asking is this: other than the DOC TYPE at the beginning, is the HTML and CSS that are used to construct the page exactly the same regardless of the DOC TYPE, or would simply over-writing the doc type cause problems with browsers interpreting the rest of the page?
I hope this post makes sense.
