What is the Doc Type for Front Page 2003 for HTML Validation

Every time I do HTML validation for my site, I always get an error of
"Missing <Doc Type>. I've found different Doc Types, such as strict or
transitional, but keep getting error messages.

Isn't there a specific Doc Type for FP 2003?

Thank You.
I was also wondering, why is it that once I put a Doc Type in the code, that
the script for the scroll bar colors doesn't work? As soon as I take the Doc
Type out the colors come back??

Because colored scroll bars only work in IE, and they aren't W3C valid html.

Setting a doctype tells a browser in which mode to render the html and display the page.

With no doctype declared, a browser switches to Quirks mode and it will then render
anything it is capable of rendering.

If you declare the style for the html tag, not the body tag, you can keep
the colored scroll bars.

In your external stylesheet

html {
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-base-color: #6495ED;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-face-color: #6495ED;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #000080;
}

change colors to suit.
