Do you see any problem with this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I’m in ASP.net and I’m using pikachoose jquery slideshow. It works fine in IE and was working in Firefox. However, somehow it’s now stopped working in firefox and firebug is giving the doctype line above out as a syntax error and

$ is not defined for the jquery script?

if i work out exactly what happened I’ll post my code and the problem, but I’m rolling back to an older version to fix it and will work from there.

    That syntax error on DOCTYPE in firefox happens when you have a bad javascript inclusion in your page. 

    <script type="text/javascript" src="not_really_there.js"></script>

    when the src either does not exist, or isn’t javascript.

    The message isn’t exactly helpful, but checking through your script tag src values will resolve it.
