[TYPO3] XHTML Transitional Validation - XML prologue issue

Wed Dec 26 17:54:17 CET 2007

Hi Peter and Dmitriy

Yes indeed:
[browser = msie] && [version=  <7]
config.doctypeSwitch = 1
[GLOBAL]

or page.config.doctypeSwitch = 1

I didnt understand TSref properly. I thought doctypeSwitch will switch the
order just for MSIE and not for the other browsers :), I was wrong. Thanks.
The condition is the solution and indeed version 7 behaves alot more like
Firefox 2, as of now at least

Thanks again!

Best,
Darko
