Hi folks 
Can anyone advise me if I'm going the wrong way using, or trying to use, Html5 validation?
Im using Actinic 11 so would I be better off sticking to Html 4.01 Transitional?
I have 2 sites, one using html5 and the other using Html4 trans. They both dont validate, of course, I dont expect them to validate perfectly due to Avtinic tags. But they both have serious errors in that the </head> is flagged as an error in both (saying the head tag is already closed when it isnt)
They both also flag as having a 2nd <body> tag where there i only one. I think this is due to the Preload image script on both sites.
Validation of the Html5 site stops after the <body> error saying it cant continue after such an error
My question though is, before i spend lots of time trying to reduce the number of errors is which Doctype should i use? I have read lots of existing posts on this site about validation but cant find anything about Html5
If anyone could shed any light on this that would be fantastic and possibly save me a lot of time and hair pulling
thanks guys
