What do they mean? I got the code off of a site that teaches how to code such things.
How do I fix this so it validates? Thanks!

your doctype should look like this:
[html]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
[/html]
Heya, tpgames.
I'm going to go ahead and move this thread to the HTML forum, where our resident Experts will be better able to help you out.
You can't set the time in the past either. Without seeing the full header it's hard to say.
I thought I was in the HTML forum posting this. Oops! Someone can't read.
What I was trying to accomplish was a sure fire way to make sure that clients got the most current version of the page, every day in Firefox. This code I used was the only one that actually worked. All the other codes would give me the same old page no matter what day it was, the same day programming the page, or the following day. I always had to manually refresh to see the changes. The code below, would give me a new page even on the same day. Thanks!

ps. I was referring to Me not being able to read. Just in case anyone thought differently. LOL

That means it will never validate as the time will never be present. It also means that I am very ignorant and missing some knowledge. :D
When you send the page out you can set the expire time to some time in the future.
EDIT: Oh, wait. you set the expire time in the doctype. That's the wrong place. You need to set a <meta> to do that.

Excuse the ignorance, but what exactly would the proper tag look like in a meta tag? I used to...
[HTML]<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">[/HTML]
l've not learned any others yet. And, that one I got from someone elses site. The site I got the Expire tag from, was not clear in where to put it.
Would this work?
[HTML]<meta content= "Expires: Thur, 1 March 2007 13:00:00 GMT">[/HTML]
Also, if date is in the future, how would that make sure the browser only gave client the freshest page?
Thanks! :D
I wish I wasn't so confused. However, I'm wondering if I should even bother being that I'm going to have to change hundreds of pages over to XML eventually, anyhow. I did finally find where in the HTML 4 book, the answer was, and how that META tag should look.
However, my question about future and dates, the book does not answer.
In the example you gave above, you have the expiration date set to a past time. The time to expire cannot expire in the past. You must set it to some future date or time.
