Yes - I ran into exactly this problem. Note you can provide a doctype parameter to the shell component. I was having problems with a border component that was kicking IE into quirks mode because of the way the shell component works. There is a very good mailing list for css issues called cssdiscuss they helped me understand what I needed (in DOCTYPE and css terms - not dealing with Tapestry) see http://lists.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d This is what you need in order for header information that is produced by the shell component pass w3c validation. (Note the use of the delegate parameter here also. I use it to generate css references where the urls of the CSS files are taken from various properties files. That way I can serve static content using apache and limit tomcat to the dynamic bits) <html jwcid="@Shell" title="ognl:appTitle" delegate="ognl:siteCSS" doctype='html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";'> I think its a bit bad that the default DOCTYPE of the shell component, and the way it produces the html in the header are not compatible. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk Open Source.
