Hi,

I am forced to work within a rubbish IDE that creates survey webpages, therefore I cannot control the doctype of the pages (it's not a great piece of software, in fact I hate it but have no choice, and it adheres to no standard doctype, it adheres to no standard anything!).

I want to produce a pretty popup on my pages, but cannot use lightbox or any alternative that I can find as these all require a doctype declaration. My popups look great in except IE (naturally). If I insert a doctype declaration into the page the popups work, but all sorts of other things on the page don't, inputs and so on.

Can anyone suggest an alternative plugin I can use, or some sort of hack I can put in my page to overcome this problem? e.g. is there a vanilla doctype that means nothing, or perhaps a way of fooling lightbox that a doctype exists when it doesn't?

Thanks for any suggestions!

CJ

Sorry - i don't see which section you mean, there is nothing there that I can see to suggest what to do when no doctype is present?
