I have some data I want to put in a table and I want to use the visual editor mode. What DOCTYPE would be best? Also, what is the different between HTML 4.01 strict, transitional, and frameset?

While searching for these answers it was mentioned that a new HTML editor might be introduced soon. Will it have the ability to use tables?

Thanks,
yeto

If you are using the visible mode in the HTML editor, you can't use HTML5, but I think all of the ones below that.

A strict doctype is less forgiving if you don't comply exactly with the markup standards for that doctype. Transitional lets you use bits and bobs from other doctypes too. Well, this was in short.

Frameset is for the use with frames. They were very popular some 10 - 12 years ago. Basically, a frameset index page is just a 'frame' with windows open for say a page that holds the page header, one for the navigation, one for the main content. Today other technologies have taken over, one of them being php includes.

Since I never use the visual mode, I don't know anything about tables. In the code mode you certainly can use tables.
