Kristian Waagan commented on DERBY-5905:
----------------------------------------
Looks like IE isn't able to deal with the '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>' tag in our docs.
I don't know if there is something else in the page that causes IE to fall over
in combination with that XML prolouge, or if the tag alone is enough.
Does anyone know the details on this?
I.e. the specifics on the ?xml-tag, the doctype tag, and relevant meta tags for
IE?
Another remark is that when I copied one of the pages that IE wasn't able to
display online to my local drive, IE was able to display it. It used IE8 Quirks
mode, but I don't know what it's trying to do for the online version since
everything just "hangs"/stops before I can tell what's going on.

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2, 10.9.1.0, 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.
