TalkPHP - View Single Post - Which DocType for the most accessbile / mobile / cross browser site?

buildakicker · 01-16-2009, 04:30 PM

Hello all,

I am starting a design from scratch. I would like the site to be accessible / 508 compliant, mobile friendly and cross browser compatible.

Is there a doctype that would be the best one to use and why?

Currently I am thinking of using:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

From what I have read, this would be the best, but haven't gotten a real firm grasp of why this would be important.

Thanks!
