I am working on implementing a website, but I can only use HTML 3.2, I never had to do anything like this before. So how do I make sure in Dreamweaver I am using HTML3.2 and not the latest? When I create an HTML document it starts up as 4.01.... I just want to make sure I get it right from the start.

< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Declare your page as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> and then write the page. When you're done, save it and hit shift + F6 for DWMX's internal validator. Right click on any of the entries and hit "Settings." Change the validation type to 3.2 and then run the validator again with shift + f6. Change the code as the validator demands. Once you're done, pass the page onto the W3C's validator at w3.org -- change the code as their parser tells you to.

Why may I ask can you only implement this site in HTML 3.2?

Thank you Thrax, I knew of W3C's thing, but I didn't know DWMX had that function, had to be sure ;)

Kwitko, I play EVE Exodus(formerly known as EVE Online Second Genesis), it's in game Browser now supports HTML 3.2, where it used to only be HTML 1. It also now supports CSS and other functions, including some HTML 4 goodies. I am trying to build some forums we(my corporation) can reach from within the game, but also out of the game.
