    Hi

    The tutorial is really helpful, but I have a problem near the start...

    The tutorial says that we 'could' use the HTML Validator extension to check if our pages are valid.

    My first 2 lines in my code are:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    < !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"> (had to add a space or the site didn't want to show this line)
    Now, the validator already goes 'berserk' that it doesn't recognize the DTD, since it's not an official W3C DTD.

    I'm fairly sure the both lines are correct, so I don't really understand why the tutorial says that we could use that seeing it clearly doesn't work...

    Any advice?

    Kinds regards,
    Denk

    Same with me

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    and the validator goes nuts.
    But my page gets a green go from:
    http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ and http://ready.mobi/launch.jsp?locale=en_EN
    and I did choose the SGML version.
    But good video anyways.
