Need some clarification on HTML DOCTYPEs -


i used pspad wordpress template , realized doctype defaulted to:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.01 transitional//en">

as fancybox suggests proper doctype, tried few of following listed here:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/

my dilemma if change doctype now, website looks worse (things off-center being common). i'd appreciate hearing suggestions on how best proceed. default pspad doctype incorrect , should have started 1 of "official" ones instead? better off spending few days redesigning match "official" doctype? if use website in career portfolio, need concerned if leave doctype is?

just not sure how proceed here. thanks.

edit: ironically, took time begin in attempting ensure website looked same in both firefox , internet explorer.

best way proceed switch proper, valid doctype. spend time fix issues come up, , you'll setting easier maintenance in future.

yes, default pspad doctype incorrect. not valid doctype , putting browser quirks mode.

and yes, if use in portfolio, knows code dismiss using doctype using.

btw, going forward i'd use new html5 doctype, it's simpler...

<!doctype html>
