To All FMs
Below are examples of the DTD (document type declaration) info that is necessary for each
web page you publish. It must be the first line of text in any web page script. The DTD
info ensures all browsers can interpret the script you use in your web page and also helps
you get an accurate report from the validation service at W3C. Experienced file managers
often use acceptable variations of the DTD relative to extra script routines they use in
their pages but everyone should use the basic examples included below.
Please check your web sites when you have time and revise any web pages that do not have
the DTD info as the first line of script. You can easily cut&paste one of the
examples and add it to your web page if not already included in the script.
Thank you.
