Multiple Doctypes in a single HTML Document

Question

If a HTML document has two doctypes, how will the doctypes affect the rendering of the page and which doctype would the browser pick? Is having two (or more) doctypes in a s

Answer 1

If you have multiple DOCTYPE-s in your HTML page then browser will consider first one, browser parse the DOM line by line. Once browser get DOCTYPE then it will stop looking for other doctypes and will jump to search for HTML tag.

In the above question HTML-5 DOCTYPE is mentioned first and then HTML-4, according to this browser will render things as HTML-5 doctype

It is better to try once in http://www.w3schools.com/ ... Try to use 'code' or 'kbd' or 'dfn' or 'samp' or 'strong' tag by mentioning both doctypes by priority.
