So what doctype do people here like to use and do you page validate according to it?

I've recently change to XHTML too, it is quite annoying when I forget a "/" or things like that but I have to follow the standard don't I?

why do you have a frameset option it isnt a selected type it is just for when you need it and most people dont use it then?

used strict since it came out i like they way it enables me to edit and collect data as if it was a xml file
