In modern HTML, is there a purpose to having a Doctype tag to start an HTML page? I'm wondering because when I add or remove it, nothing changes.

It helps the browser render the code correctly.

I'm trying to use an iFrame to display an HTML webpage from an external source but, I can't get it to work with CSS.
You cannot do that (the browser won't let you, for security reason). If the external content of the iFrame is from the same server as the root page, then you can use javascript but no css from the root html.

HTML Doctype very first thing? [duplicate]

Does my HTML5 doctype have to be on the VERY first line?

Is it valid to have blank line returns preceding the doctype declaration?
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML
document, before the <html> tag.
via w3schools
Not necessarily; BOM, whitespace and comments may come first.

So yeah, it must come first, before any actual HTML tags, but note that you can't really ever put doctype before BOM.
