Answer 2

+3 A:

Depends on the doctype you're using, you'll have different rules to follow. I use XHTML 1.0 Strict for all of my projects, and I can check proper nesting of tags at http://www.december.com/html/x1/. That site will tell me which tags are allowed to be placed in which other tags, etc.

For example, The Anchor Tag in XHTML 1.0 Strict:

    tag: a

content: ( #PCDATA | br | span | bdo | map | object | img | tt | i | b | big | 
         small | em | strong | dfn | code | q | samp | kbd | var | cite | abbr | 
         acronym | sub | sup | input | select | textarea | label | button | 
         ins | del | script )*

parents: abbr acronym address b bdo big caption cite code dd del dfn div dt em 
         fieldset h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 i ins kbd label legend li object p pre q 
         samp small span strong sub sup td th tt var

nice, just the basics and pertinent info....anything like this for CSS, JS?

@Tommy, The best Javascript reference I know of immediately is the one at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/default.asp - as for CSS, I can only suggest the Spec, but it can get rather verbose at times.

Answer 3

A:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

this will be a easy doc-type for you... is for xhtml transitional.
