HTML and Dreamweaver
  • The HTML tag <html></html>
    • Most often, attributes are either in the DTD or in Meta tags (more later)
    • <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    • HTML 5 = <!doctype html> Declares compatibility with all current markup
  • Identifies document as HTML
    • If DTD is missing or incomplete, browser goes into 'Quirks' mode
    • Supports browser quirks, such as colored scroll bars in IE for Windows...
    • Not good if you want consistent display...
