[WSG] Re: Multiple Language Domains

[Paul McCann]

Hi Jay,

Sorry I meant that our system is currently putting the xml statement 
before the doctype and so causing the quirks mode problem, and we cant 
figure out why as it is not doing it on all pages. We were aware of this 
problem and its on my fix list in fact i am working on it now :) 

Would be good to know if you can still see the problem on the website, 
and if so on which pages as currently there is no quirks mode at this 
end now, but it appears to show up outside our network.


Feel free to email me off list.

thanks for all the help
Paul

eh?

Quirks mode is a function of browsers : see

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE html
 PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en lang=en


Note:

1. The Doctype should be the first statement in a file
2. Putting the xml statement in before the Doctype will force IE6 (and 
below?) into QUIRKS mode


Instead use the meta tag:
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8 /
