CF doesn't care about the doctype. It's the browser you need to worry about.
Adrian Building a database of ColdFusion errors at http://cferror.org/ -----Original Message----- From: Gary Strommen Sent: 07 February 2008 23:43 To: CF-Newbie Subject: doctype options I have a coldfusion site. I incorporated some javascript off the web (I do not know java unfortunately). I have been successful at the integration. The java is being used to have a tooltip come up when the user hovers over an image. The tooltip is highly customizable and is driven by the database. The only problem is that in IE6, a horizontal scroll bar appears when it is not needed and it is screwing up the table and the tooltip function. After doing some research and finding that IE6 does have a bug that causes a horizontal scrollbar and doing some testing. I have found out that removing the first line of code from my page, the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ....., that everything works fine. My question is, are there any problems I should be aware of that might occur if I don't have a doctype tag? Second question, if I change the Doctype tag to a different tag (possibly one found on this page: http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html), will that cause problems I might not be aware of? Lastly, the line of code that I removed from my coldfusion page is: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> Is there another DOCTYPE that a coldfusion page can use or prefers?
