I just wondered, if the team intended to generate for a certain type. Without a hint at what compatibility was broken, and for which browsers, trying to fix this might be difficult for me.... The most notable possible reason is, that it is impossible for any page, to conform to both declarations at the same time. The simplest example for this is the <br> <br/> thing: - Standard html doesn't know </br> or <br /> - in XHTML it *has* to be marked as empty <br /> I noted, that andromda is using the <br /> in some of the generated resources! (those ending on *.online.help in application-resources.properties.) The most notable change for browsers, when using a doctype declaration, is a change in error treatment: The Browsers are usually much more cheeky with a declaration. So it's not sufficient to include the declaration, the generation of the page has to change accordingly. (Wich is probably a *lot* of work - and outside of the andromda scope anyway, because its better left to tag libraries). Having no declaration ususally means, that the browsers try to resolve by guessing. However, looking at the generated code, this mostly looks like XHTML, while some browsers assume something close to to HTML 4.01 transitional or frameset as default.
