Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
You are quite right I hadn't thought of looking at the source output.
The reason that there is a second Doc declaration in the code comes from the php"include file" which I had not removed the Doc description from the top.

Thanks to all for the input.
Now sorted, will remember not to do that again.
Regards

Did you actually look at the source of the output page?

Notice how you have another DOCTYPE declaration and entire <html />
inside the original <body /> tag. Don't do that.
