Odd bug: Doctype not recognized by IE9

1 Attachment(s)

Hey,

i just made a fresh vB 3.8.7 install and i have seen that the IE9 (haven't tested with IE8, ...) doesn't recognize the HTML Doctype. If i look at the source, it's obvious that the browser changes the original doctype ( <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">) to a comment.

Maybe someone can help to fix the problem cause i'm building an HTML5 Template and it's necessary to tell the IE to render the page correctly.

Thanks in advance

Florian

I don't know if it's related but I had to put this line into the headinclude template of my 3.8 forums for IE9 to correctly render the pages:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

I'm not sure that's a IE 9 rendering bug. Are you sure it isn't a vB setting?

Try changing the doctype. Validate your web site: http://validator.w3.org/ does it say you don't have a doctype declared?

I believe it is related to a "bug" in vBulletin with the option to send the IE 7 header. Do you have this enabled?

Eric, you're right, it was the IE7 header setting. "Damn stupid bug"! :D
