The problem is that, without a proper DOCTYPE, most browsers fall into
the so-called "quirks" mode, which is needed for supporting web pages
that were written when de de-facto standard was whatever was provided by
either NS 4 or pre-5.5 IE. Since most of those pages don't have a
DOCTYPE declaration, this seemed like a good compromise.
If you include a DOCTYPE declaration instead, both Mozilla and IE will
be standard-compliant (or at least they will try harder).
Now, some of the DHTML and CSS code used by Cocoon Forms (formerly known
as "Woody") undoubtedly tries to adapt itself to the "quirks" mode in
order to be compatible with some older browser (and this is a mistake,
IMHO) and, as a consequence, it doesn't behave correctly when the
browser is in "standards-compliant" mode.
Surely there are alternative implementations, but some of the best of
them are license-incompatible with the ASL. For instance, I'm using a
DHTML calendar widget that is better than the one we have, but
unfortunately it's LGPL.
I'm afraid our only options are to either find some compatible
replacements, fix what we have or rewrite it from scratch. I'm not
volunteering to write any DHTML code, since I'm very ignorant about it all.
As far as my applications are concerned, I disabled the DOCTYPE just
like you did, and I'm living with it, not exactly happily however.
Also be careful not to use the xhtml namespace in your output, otherwise
Mozilla will still try to be standards-compliant.

We are aware of this bug:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24900. But until now
nobody tried to find out the real reason for it. Is it a problem with
the JS lib in use or a problem of Mozilla ...

Woody Calendar Dropdown position
Posted by Tony Edwards <te...@civica.com.au>.
Morning all,
I was fiddling with an application that I had ported form 2.1.3 to 2.1.4
and noticed a curious thing: the woody dropdown calendar widget was now
being displayed in the top left corner of the screen and not underneath
the text input as usual. This characteristic is only evident in Mozilla.
In IE the widget appears in the right location but is positioned
underneath the date text input so that the top line is obscured.
Moving the application back to 2.1.3 had the calendar performing as
usual so I copied all the woody styling xsl and css files into my 2.1.4
application. Still no joy.
I then recompiled the 2.1.4 cocoon and redeployed. No change, so I went
to bed somewhat confused.
This morning I was reading the mailing list and I noticed that Brent
Johnson had noticed a change in the doctype output by 2.1.4.
Inspired, I commented out the
<doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN</doctype-public>
<doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd</doctype-system>
lines for the html serializer and everything worked as normal!!!
My question is, what are the implcations of doing this? Is it going to
adversely affect my HTML output?
Any comments would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tony
