Try using this code

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

the only reason i used the other code is because i notice it didnt change my page design while on different browsers. now with the new code i have some bugs both on IE and FF. before nothing, static page working well in both browsers...
what do you suggest cos i have to change it back to the previous one that didnt affect my design.

tell me something is this going to influence my seo? i mean, the fact i use

Quote:

, is it bad for my page? cos i have it ai almost everypage and they seem to get plenty of visitors...

is this really necessary?

thank you.

i have never been to colorado, i hope some day. i've been 5 times to the east coast in a couple of us states but nothing deeper west.

It shouldn't effect your SEO efforts either way. What browsers are you viewing the site from?

nope.. actually if it is good if u use the xmlns tag.. it makes u more standards compliant.. that doesn't actually make a difference, is a different thing altogether.

As for the bugs in IE and FF.. it's pretty strange. As for IE, when u use a DOCTYPE, you are into the 'Standards Mode' of IE in which it handles things differently [for eg. the 'body' from DOM is not referenced by document.body but by document.documentElement]. However, I didn't know of any differences in the way the display scheme changes.
