How do I fix it ?
Always add the <!DOCTYPE> declaration to your HTML documents, so that the browser knows what type of document to expect. This declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML document, before the <html> tag. You can see below the most common <!DOCTYPE> declarations:
- HTML 5:
<!DOCTYPE html>
- HTML 4.01 Strict:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
- HTML 4.01 Transitional:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
