We use master pages in our web application, and the doctype is defined in the master page. On one of the pages I need to change the doctype, or else a third-party control renders incorrectly. How can I change the doctype of only that certain page, without affecting the rest of the pages? ...
Does using an HTML 5 Doctype cause Quirks mode in modern browsers, since HTML5 isn't out yet? (That is Modern Browsers were out before HMTL5 started spreading, so they don't properly support it.) If yes, does this mean that the HTML 5 Doctype is tentatively like none at all? EDIT: If not, what does it do in browsers that don't support...
I am using <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> in my web pages. I remember reading in one of those XHTML vs HTML questions that one of the (small) advantages of using HTML is, a shorter DOCTYPE like <!DOCTYPE html> Can I use some shorter version like that and specify HTML ...
I noticed that Visual Studio defaults the DOCTYPE to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. This seems okay, but I think that's more of a standard for "generation 6" browsers. We're now in gen 7 and 8 browsers, and I'm wondering what DOCTYPE I should be putting in my HTML. On a related note: Is there a way to add other DOCTYPEs to the HTML validation ...
This subject turned into a heated discussion at the office, so I'm interested to learn what you think. We are working on a web app that only targets some specific browsers. These browsers presently include different flavors Opera 9 and Mozilla 1.7.12. In the future we likely also have to support Opera 10 and different flavors of WebKit....
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head> <title>Untitled Page</title> <style type="text/css"> #textarea1 { width: 100%; overflow:hidden; } #...
Hi In my html file, when I write this, it is displayed correct. <div class="event" style="top: 30px; left: 10px; width: 584px; height: 80px;"> But as soon as I set strict doctype, the styling goes away. So in firbug I see only style="". <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <...
I find this amusing and really annoying. On windows XP with IE7/8 the input boxes and dropdown boxes are rendered with a thib border and with rounded corners and they look good. I was redesigning our intranet (very messy code) and I started putting <!DOCTYPEs and all the "modern" things like css and so on when I noticed the dropdown box ...
minidom, again. tried document.doctype = xml.dom.minidom.DocumentType('html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"') There is no doctype in the output. How to fix without inserting it by hand? ...
many doctype use a url link like this <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> and this dtd file is on live url http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd ...
Is the doctype part of the DOM, and if so, is there a good cross-browser way to read it? I'm not trying to do anything fancy. I just want to access the doctype information from within some JavaScript code. Read-only access is fine. ...
Hi, happy new year! I'm making a page that uses a WYSIWYG editor. Like most editors, it puts everything in "<p>" tags. This gives a formatting problem when an image has 100% height and width. The following html shows the issue: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <...
It seems to me that some DOCTYPE declarations in IE (6-8) may cause the browser to ignore height="100%" on tables and divs (style="height:100%") E.g <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Test1</title> </head> <body> <div style="border: 2px s...
As stated in this question, single quotes in html has either become more popular or we have begun to notice them more often. Regardless, I have a related question. The HTML 4.01 Strict doctype as shown at w3schools (below) uses double quotes. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"...
I'm developing a portlet application where I cannot control the doctype. I need to put IE7 in standard mode for things to work. Is there a way to do so? ...
Consider the following <div style="width:150px;border:50px solid black">Test</div> If this is output onto a page that IE8 renders in strict mode (or if you load into Firefox etc) then the inside of the div (the white area where test is) will be 150px wide but the div in total will be 50 + 150 + 50 = 250px wide (accounting for the bord...

Hey guys, i got this code: <div style="position:relative; font-size:50px; z-index:2;"> LAYER 1 </div> <div style="position:relative; top:-50; left:5; color:red; font-size:80px; z-index:1"> LAYER 2 </div> where layer 2 should be under layer 1. It works fine without any doctype. If i add one, the divs acts standard: layer 1 layer...
I'm embarassed to admit that I can't find the standards-compliant method to modify CSS properties using Javascript. Or at least, I assume so, due to the following: The following piece of code works fine in Firefox/WebKit without a DOCTYPE declaration, but doesn't work with the doctype specified (either HTML 4 or 5): function setWindowS...
