If it's not a frame set then chance are good that you should be using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

The doctype is the set of rules you are telling the browser you are using to create your web page. All newly created pages should contain the doctype Charles shows above. Otherwise, browsers will assume it is 1998 and all heck breaks loose.

What about this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

That would work as well, as long as your mark-up was XHTML compliant.

What about this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">As noted above, only use that if you are using XHTML. And only use XHTML if you really know what you are doing.

And we were supposed to stop using transitional DTDs sometime in the last century.
