-------------------------------------
Summary: Derby html documentation doesn't render properly and
prints garbage on Internet Explorer
Key: DERBY-5904
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5904
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 10.9.1.0, 10.8.2.2, 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Kathey Marsden
There have been reports that DERBY html documentation does not render on
Internet Explorer 8 and 9.
Kristian reports on IE8
Just tried with IE8, and with the Getting Started manual I get this when I view
the source:
"""
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
<snipped garbage as to not put it in jira>
Not sure how that last line will turn out in your email clients, but it is
indeed garbage and you can see that the body-tag is empty. Nothing is rendered
in the browser. We are using frames though - that's not exactly
state-of-the-art... We are also using the wrong DOCTYPE. I'm suspecting that
the HTML is invalid too, but haven't checked.
On IE9 I had heard that the reference HTML manual prints garbage.
