 XHTML Black Book
XHTML Black Book is what I'm currently reading. It's a pretty good book; it covers HTML, XHTML and some XML and compares them to there old versions.
Well anyway that book led me to two simple questions:
XHTML 1.0 or 1.1? Is XHTML 1.1 based on XHTML 1.0 strict? Because I prefer transitional; CSS got it's limits...
Should I use DTD files in a directory? (I never seen a website do that)...?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
It is XHTML 1.0 and if you are using transitional then the doctype is the above one.

Any transitional doctype is bad, they allow far too much mixing of presentation and content. Are there any specific issues you're having getting your pages working using a strict doctype and CSS for presentation? As for XHTML 1.1, it requires an XML mime type, which makes it incompatible with internet explorer - so not a good choice. Hence you're best sticking with XHTML 1 strict, or probably better HTML 4.01 strict.
