Bear in mind, that this isn't 'a webpage', it's a computer program that creates a webpage. So you're not 'adding a doctype', you're 'adding some code to output a doctype', and similarly it's not Python you're validating, it's the output it creates that you validate. These are important distinctions. Anyway, what is the exact line of code you use to 'add the doctype'? And what is this 'invalid script error'? It's hard to debug your code when we have to guess what it is! However, because I'm in a good mood, I'll have a go. You probably need to escape the double quotes in the doctype because they unintentionally correspond with the double quotes in your print statement. The print statement uses double quotes to delimit the output, and the doctype uses them to delimit the type. Unfortunately the print statement probably interprets the start of the doctype's type field as the end of the print statement. Add a backslash before each double quote within your doctype and see how that goes. Alternatively you could possibly use single quotes in it instead. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
