Please note that this week the Document Type Declaration for one of the pages you will write is different. For the frames set page ONLY ... use
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
For all the other pages, use the normal Document Type Declaration ... which is
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
or alternately, for all other pages, you could use ...
<!!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
It is important to get this correct, otherwise your pages will not pass W3C validation.
