iMac and IE4.5
I'm having a serious issue with iMac's running IE4.5. I just put a new site
into production which uses Cocoon. It's been great, and we've gotten a lot
of great response (not to mention the fact that since I designed it using
Cocoon it's really easy to make content modification).
But, the only negative feedback I've received is that iMac's running IE4.5
only see the HTML code. When the person goes to our website, the page does
not get displayed (like I said, just all the HTML code - so it's getting
transformed). We have some macs internally, and we've tested the site and
it runs fine on regular Mac's (G4's). It seems to be limited to just iMacs,
and just IE4.5.
Here are my formatter settings in cocoon.properties (I'm convinced it HAS to
have something to do with this).
I had it set to this:
formatter.text/html.doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN
formatter.text/html.doctype-system = Transitional
In an attempt to fix the iMac problem I set it to this:
formatter.text/html.doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN
formatter.text/html.doctype-system =
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd
But neither one seemed to help. This is a serious problem (since our site
is aimed at teachers and a lot of schools use iMacs) that I've been unable
to resolve. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have ANY ideas on how
I can fix this? I really need some help on this.
Thanks,
- Brent

Browser capacity database? Apparently not :)
I'll try the xsl:output, although since we have NO way of reproducing this
problem it's going to be hard to tell if we've fixed it. I'm sure it's
probably something fairly simple that's causing the problem, it's just
finding and fixing it that's becoming the problem.
Thanks for the help,
- Brent

Changing the DTD of the page won't stop that kind of behavior. That has to
do with mime types. It seems that iMac+IE4.5 is getting the stream as
text/plain. Are you using the browser capacity database? There could be
something in there if the problem is limited to a specific platform. Also,
if you use a different stylesheet, make sure you have <xsl:output
method="html" media-type="text/html" [...] /> and see if that helps. In
fact, you could even include that in your regular stylesheet (or only xsl,
if you only use one) and see if that helps. I'm not sure how Xalan or Xerces
use it, but since they are both supposed to be better than MS's XML Parser
and *it* can do it, I'm sure either one of the Java solutions can, too.
