i'm expanding my html/css knowledge with a practice site...i attempted to validate my initial markup before adding my css styles, and got the following error:
Result:Failed validation, 1 error File:upload://Form SubmissionEncoding:utf-8Doctype:-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 strict//ENRoot Namespace:http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml (http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)
Unknown Parse Mode! The MIME Media Type () for this document is used to serve both SGML and XML based documents, and it is not possible to disambiguate it based on the DOCTYPE Declaration in your document. Parsing will continue in SGML mode.

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a <p>aragraph</p>) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes).
...i apologize for being stupid, but i'm not understanding this...i've compared my code with the guy's example and they match...excepting that his validates and mine does not...-sigh-...as this appears to me to be a doctype or head section problem, here's my related code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/)">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Cookr! | Raisin bread</title>
</head>
any thoughts?
