I'm a beginner... What is the difference between HTML and XHTML? When I write in DOCTYPE - is something will be changed on my page?

all contemporary browsers understand XHTML. If you want well-done pages - use XHTML - there will be less problems. Read rules on W3C-site.

XHTML 1.0 Strict
DOCTYPE with DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
Use the strict DOCTYPE when you want really clean markup, free of presentational clutter. Use together with CSS.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional
DOCTYPE with DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
Use the transitional DOCTYPE when you want to still use HTML's presentational features.
XHTML 1.0 Frameset
DOCTYPE with DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd
Use the frameset DOCTYPE when you want to use HTML Frames to split the web page into two or more frames.
Good luck!
