I am not an expert, but here are some suggestions that you can do:
Before you do any more, replace the uppercase tags and attributes with
lowercase. That is part of HTML 4.01 spec (or so I have read.)
Add the doctype declaration before the <head>
1. If you are going for transitional (it is recommended not to do this) use
this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
for strict add this one (and make a lot of people very happy ;-) ):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
The doctype go before the <head> statement. You can only have one.
2. Try adding these in the <head>, before or after your current <meta>
stuff:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="****.css" />
<!--put the name of your CSS in the appropriate location-->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> <!--only if you have an icon
in the address box-->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<!--This is the default character set, not completely required-->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
They will help.
3. You have a major error in the <head> statement. You have three (or more)
<head> statements! (not better than one, bad mojo)
basically you have this:
<html>
<head>
Header stuff here
</head>
<body>
Body stuff
</body>
<head>
More head stuff!!
</head>
<body>
More body stuff!!
</body>
<head>
Even more head stuff!!
</head>
<body>
Even more body stuff!!
</body>
</html>
Edit the multiple <head>s together for a single, unified <head> statement,
same for the multiple <body> sections. Remove the redundancies to prevent
strange behaviors.
4. Your embedded scripts appear to be a little off. From what I have learned
(which is very little) they should look like this:
<script>
<!--//
script stuff here
//-->
</script>
I CANNOT GUARANTEE I AM RIGHT ON THIS ONE. I am not an expert on scripting
by any definition of the word. Newbie would be stretching it.
Try revalidating and correct any further errors.
