Hi, I am trying to get my code to validate as xhtml strict, but I keep
getting the following error message.

document type does not allow element "map" here; missing one of "p", "h1",
"h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins",
"del" start-tag

Just another quick question. Is it ok to use #includes for the doctype?
Thanks in advance

So put the map in a suitable container. (Or check that a map really is the
best solution for the problem - usually they aren't)

If you mean Server Side Includes, then yes. What matters is the data sent to
the user agent, not how you store it on the server.
