Hello everybody,

I beg for help with a problem I'm dealing with for a while now: I use Websitebaker and some modules (event calendar, news 2.5, ...). On the pages without these modules, everything is ok and the design looks the same in firefox and internet explorer. But on the pages with one single module, the design in internet explorer isn't the way it should be. By using Firebug I discovered that one the pages with one module enabled (and wrong design in internet explorer), that there is no doctype-declaration on these pages.

Could you please tell me how to "enable" doctype-declarations on these pages?

Thanks a lot in advance,

A doctype is declared in the first output line of your template and will be the same on all pages of your website.
It cannot be that a page with another module is changing or removing your doctype.

Your problem between FF and IE must be found somewhere else.

Hello dbs and Ruud,

thanks a lot in advance for your help! Please take a look at this site both in internet explorer and Firefox:

In Firefox, it looks the way it should be. In Internet Explorer, the vertical, purple bar on the left of the page is missing...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Solution:

Go to addon file editor, choose your template, edit "index.php" and make sure the doctype declaration is written in the first line...

Thanks a lot maverik.

only the half solution, you haven´t read it careful.

these

Code:

must stand between <head> and </head>.

the normal way is to do it with

Code:

<?php }
if(function_exists('register_frontend_modfiles')) {
register_frontend_modfiles('css');
register_frontend_modfiles('js');
} ?>

before </head>. if you need jQuery for a modul or so you must write

Code:

<?php }
if(function_exists('register_frontend_modfiles')) {
    register_frontend_modfiles('css');
    register_frontend_modfiles('jquery');
    register_frontend_modfiles('js');
} ?>

that´s the right solution.

Hello maverik,

thanks for that comment! I've read it carefully, but this last modification is still in progress.

Thanks a lot, again!
