Grégory Joseph commented on MAGNOLIA-2221:
------------------------------------------

I noticed a bunch of pages which the following invalid doctype:{fixed}
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
{fixed}

It should be {fixed}
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
{fixed}

Unfortunately, fixing this makes firefox and other browsers move from quirks 
mode to standards-compliance mode, and might have quite some impact on 
rendering of trees, lists, ...

>             Project: Magnolia
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: admininterface
>    Affects Versions: 3.6-m2
>            Reporter: Fabrizio Giustina
>            Assignee: Grégory Joseph
>             Fix For: 4.1.1

>
> Most of the admin interface pages and dialogs doesn't validates due to errors 
> in the html such as:
> - missing doctypes
> - bad nesting of tags (invalid tags in forms, tables missing tr's)
> - css/javascript working only in legacy mode due to missing units (px) on css 
> attributes for sizing/positioning
> in order to improve compatibility with recent browser we should fix those 
> errors and validate all the code. Working in non-standard mode (no doctype) 
> is really bad for compatibility.
> I already started to fix some of the errors for 3.6, and I'll try to fix some 
> more of them. Installing the html validator extension for firefox ( 
> http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ ) is recommended for any developer ;)
