Hi, I just had a look at a html page generated by GWT 1.7, and was wondering about this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <!-- The HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE declaration--> <!-- above set at the top of the file will set --> <!-- the browser's rendering engine into --> <!-- "Quirks Mode". Replacing this declaration --> <!-- with a "Standards Mode" doctype is supported, --> <!-- but may lead to some differences in layout. --> GWT 1.7 was made for quirks mode, as far as I remember. But HTML 4.01 Transitional isn't quirks mode. For all I know, this is called "Almost Standards mode", which is very close to "Standards mode", except mainly for images. See http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ (Section "Choosing a Doctype") and http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html So I wonder: Is this incorrect in the generated HTML page, or are the GWT docs actually always talking about "Almost Standards mode", when they say, that certain things before GWT 2.0 were designed for "Quirks mode"? Or maybe the information in my links is wrong? Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
