How does someone view the web page from the html code input?
Is it the FTP from server?

You need to change the quotes around your doctype stuff. Notice how they slant in and out? That's a special type of quote (probably created an an escape sequence), that doesn't work for quoting attributes.

Write over it with a regular ".

If you copied and pasted your HTML from a word processor, that could cause the problem. Word Processors love to auto-change quotes to special characters. It's much better practice to type your HTML up in a simple text editor (a-la Notepad, Notepad++, or Gedit) or some kind of programming IDE (Dreamweaver, Quanta, etc). That would prevent problems like this.

When I do code I use Notepad, Notepad++ or Wordpad. I've tried it in Word when I first started doing web design, and I had the same problem.

If you need to download Notepad++ here's the link.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/

When you download Notepad++, you'll see how it really can help you out with your code, rather it's XHTML, PHP, Pearl, Java, or a very large number of others.

Hope this helps.
