I started this site from scratch in dreamweaver and put a HTML 4.01 Transitional at first it has no errors but when i finished it this errors come out again "This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!"
The errors are all listed below that warning, each one with a link to more information. What more could you need?

You are already using too lax of a standard and should be using HTML 4.01 Strict. The problem is your HTML. You actually have more than the validator is flagging.

Drop the bordercolor, images require alt="" drop background, drop height, add type to JavaScript have you used the clean-up HTML facility in Dreamweaver based on Tidy? I suspect Dreamweaver is adding nonsense… Yo need to use more CSS too.
The validator is telling you exactly what to do if you would bother to read the rest of that page.

the validator isn't saying your page isn't valid due to doctype. it's saying it's coded wrong. scroll down that page and it tell you exactly what's wrong, and sometimes even how to fix it. things like misplaced tags, etc.
You are trying to use deprecated code with a XHTML 1.0 Transitional! document type. Tags like <meta>, <br>, etc tags must be closed. Some attributes are not allow where you are trying to use them. I saw no <html><head> tags after your current document type. No </head> tag before your <body> tag.
