  • 1.  How to modify DOCTYPE in workflow form.

    Posted Sep 01, 2014 05:11 AM

    The default Doctype generated by workflow both in 7.1 and 7.5 in forms or display content web pages is:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

    But now I have content that I want to display that is not working in IE with that DOCTYPE.

    It do work with doctypes:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    and even if I add en url (It do not even have to be vallid...) to the standard DOCTYPE the page works e.g :

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://this.is/an/invallid/url.dtd">

    How do I modify the DOCTYPE on pages that is generated by workflow?

    I think there's a forms component that will allow you to inject HTML of your choosing... I'll investigate this and see if I can get it working.

    EDIT: Think it's called IncludeHtml

    The problem is not that I cant add the html content that I want but that IE don't display it correctly as the DOCTYPE tag is wrong.

    The DOCTYPE tag is a tag that is absolutly first in an HTML docuemnt even before the <html> tag.
    I can change it using javascript but that will not help as IE do not rerender the page.

    I haven't found yet how to change it by default but after publishing your workflow you can edit form.aspx to change the doctype.

    Hi,
    Bumped into the same issue just recently with upgrade from 7.1.x Workflow to latest 7.5 SP1 (7.5.6153.0).

    Have created few custom Web frontends with Workflow and now when publishing updated projects again I find the all Form.aspx pages are updated with
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">.

    Otherwise comparing the "older" versions off Form.aspx pages there are no other differences. IE11, Firefox, Chrome (latest and greatest) require the Quirks - mode for our web portals to render correctly.

    IIS header fix, forcing IE5 Document mode (fine for IE11) obvioisly does not affect Firefox,Chrome.. so just by removing that new DOCTYPE line from code, renders pages in Quirks - mode for FF and Chrome as well.

    Really wondering where Workflow gets that and appends to published page??

    Thank  you contacted Symantec for the fix as well.  When I removed the doctype, obviously the format of the page was changed (unusable),

    If you are using a recent browser like IE11 you need to enable compatiblity mode in IE from my experience.  Older browsers display fine.
