Hi,

I've set a Doctype in the page.tpl.php for my site and with FF it works fine. But when using the Internetexplorer a part of the Doctype is lost and I'm getting some visual errors.

The Doctype set in the page.tpl.php is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

The Doctype displayed in the Internetexplorer:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

I was already looking for someone with the same problem, but didn't find anything. Has anyone an idea what could cause this problem?

Many thanks and best regards,

Quser

I am not fully certain, but I will take a stab at it; what if you create a second DOCTYPE tag line with the second address?


Not sure about it, but the two values under one tag do not seem right, not even a comma between the two...

Hi Quser

Please use the Drupal Standardized Doc types.

Here are some Drupal standard Doc types:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"  
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
