> HBASE-7425 brings bootstrap based webui to hbase. While trying on trunk
> version, Firefox works well, but IE 8/9 layout and style look strange due to
> compatibility issue. Add "<!DOCTYPE html ...>" at the beginning of all jamon
> html/jsp templates to fix it.
> Seems HBase-2110 had a work to comment out the DOCTYPE for all .jsp to make
> the browser run the pages in Quirks mode
> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode) due to jetty issue at that time?
> To support the compatibility of webui across browsers (IE/Firefox/Chrome,
> etc.), there are some guidelines for choosing rendering the page under
> standard mode or quirk mode:
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode
> http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/
> According to document, "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>" has the most extensive
> compatibility even for HTML 5. According to my test, add this could make
> webui works in IE (standard mode), while Firefox could not work well with
> styles. Looks like if in Firefox, we still need the quirk mode (no DOCTYPE
> declaration).
> So just adding conditional DOCTYPE declaration for IE,
> <!--[if IE]>
> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
> <![endif]-->
> this could make webui works for both IE and Firefox, also for Chrome and
> other browsers.
