I am trying to troubleshoot some issues on a website that is going live today and I keep getting this funny error in Firebug and on the W3C validation site

Here is my DOCTYPE code

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

Here is the error I get:

syntax error
[Break On This Error] < !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHT…/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>

Any guidance on this seemingly simple task would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Seems you have the same problem here:

    check your script tags!

    the following gives the same result:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src=""></script>
</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>
