Right,

Well this is so nooby, But I'm now going to learn some CSS + HTML for the December coding competition.

And I'm on w3schools. But I've seen this on lots of layouts:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

What is it actually for? Does it just stay there? Or don't we need it? lol.

I'm just interested in knowing.

It states information about the coding language. For example that one means that the page is coded in HTML 4.

EDIT: Pudding you don't need to write that for HTML to work. It's just invalid.

Sledmore, this is what I code in. XHTML 1.0

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
