I am currently using this DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>

However, when I validate my web page, I am getting the following error:

document type does not allow element “STYLE” here, at <style
type="text/css">

Can you please advise me on the correct DOCTYPE that I should use?

Thanks

    Hints :

    • Put your script and style tags, in your HEAD section
    • Put the rest in your BODY section
    • Remember to “close” all tags.
    <html>
      <head>
             <!-- title,scripts & styles go here -->
      </head>
      <body>
             <!-- the rest goes here -->
      </body>
</html>

    Your Code : (UPDATED : Passes validation)

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="validate.js"></script>

        <style type="text/css">
            label{

                margin-right:30px;
                text-align:right;
            }
