HTML Tag and Attributes List
|
<!-- ??? -->
| Allows you to insert comments into an HTML document and have them completely ignored by the browser. This is useful for such things as revision histories and notes about how to improve the document. |
<!DOCTYPE ...>
| The <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration (technically it's not a "tag") should be the very first thing in your document... if you choose to use it at all. <!DOCTYPE ...> tells the browser what version of HTML you are writing in. More specifically, <!DOCTYPE ...> declares that this document conforms to a specific version of HTML , and specifies what version that is.
The necessity of <!DOCTYPE ...> is a subject of much debate. The standards published by W 3 C require the use of <!DOCTYPE ...> . However, much of the HTML being written does not conform strictly the W 3 C specifications, and so using <!DOCTYPE ...> (which is, after all, a claim that you conform to the standards) would seem unnecessary.
However, <!DOCTYPE ...> has its place on a page, even if you decide to use a little non-standard markup. <!DOCTYPE ...> 's most useful purpose is when used in conjunction with one of the various HTML analyzers. The analyzers look to the <!DOCTYPE ...> to determine what type of HTML you are trying to write. Our recommendation is that you use the appropriate <!DOCTYPE ...> . It won't hurt and allows you to make use of the HTML checkers available.
This is the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration for HTML version 3.2: |
