In HTML 4.0 you can choose between 3 Document Type Definitions (DTD):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
The Strict DTD excludes the presentation attributes and elements that W3C expects to move to a style sheet. If you need to include presentation attributes in your page you can use the Transitional DTD.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
The Transitional DTD includes presentation attributes and elements that W3C expects to move to a style sheet. This is usually the best to use.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN">
The Frameset DTD should be used for documents with frames. This DTD is identical to the Transitional DTD except for: in frameset documents, the frameset element replaces the body element.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
