I'm trying to force myself to do strict doctypes but i dont know the difference really

i know that with xhtml 1.0 all tags must be closed like <img src ="blah.jpg" /> or <br/> instead of <br>.

something really confusing me is what flash mx gives as an html file when you publish a movie. Everything seems to be caps and there is no doctype, or maybe i'm not looks at it right. Someone wanna take a look at this code and figure out what it is?

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;  charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>nothing</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="532" id="nothing" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="nothing.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="nothing.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="532" NAME="nothing" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Flash just publishes the HTML code. Effectively it is in HTML 4.0 Transitional.

It's up to you to make it strict if that's what you need.

read the speca better ... only tags that don't have a closing tag must end like that, and also all tags must be lover case ... moving a code from html to xhtml is easy ... just make everything lower case and close the tags like img, br, link, meta .... properly with />

for more information i suggest you read the xthml specs on www.w3.org
