I have a problem. My understanding of doctype is quite limited. My website validated untill I added a marquee. I was wondering if it was the marquee or the doctype
these are the errors

The marquee element is not part of the HTML specification, so with the marquee element your document will never validate.
You can use JavaScript instead to achieve the same effect.
