The CSS active link property is not working in ASP.net.
When i comment the Doctype, it starts working fine. Following is the Doctype:
<DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I found many doctypes but the other CSS stops working when I change.
Is there any way to use active link property with this doctype?
This is the HTML and CSS code
<DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
a:active
{
background-color:Red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
w3schools.com
wikipedia.org
</body>
</html>
I would recommend using the HTML 5 doctype, <!doctype html>.
If you choose to stick with the one you're currently using, do it this way:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Please notice the ! at the beginning. You need those. :)

Heres what I tried...
In Main html page....
<iframe src="./example.html" id="frame" frameborder="1"></iframe>
and example.html looks like this..
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</p>
</body>
This results in empty iframe.
--UPDATE--
Ok,the problem was that simply refreshing the page did not update the iframe. but when I clsed it and reopened it it was fine. Can someone explain this? Do iframes need to be refreshed?
Example.html should be:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</p>
</body>
</html>
Also make sure your path to example.html is correct in your iframe, as well as having a set height & width.
I have defined the <DOCTYPE> in jsp page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
but when opening the page in IE8 it's getting changed to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
which is causing menus issue, hover is not working.
Could you tell em why <DOCTYPE> is getting changed.
I am trying to troubleshoot some issues on a website that is going live today and I keep getting this funny error in Firebug and on the W3C validation site
Here is my DOCTYPE code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Here is the error I get:
syntax error
[Break On This Error] < !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHT.../xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Any guidance on this seemingly simple task would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Seems you have the same problem here:
http://blog.ryanrampersad.com/2008/09/06/syntax-error-break-on-this-error-doctype-html-public-w3cdtd-xhtml3orgtr-xhtml1-dtd-xhtml1-strictdtd/
check your script tags!
the following gives the same result:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src=""></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I can't get my website validated; it jumps an error on my doctype which is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//ES" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
(under Spanish)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
(under English)...
The html tag:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="EN" lan="en">
THE ERROR
Error: unrecognized DOCTYPE; unable to check document
any idea why?
do not specify the language in the doctype but always use:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" .......
Set the language in the <html> tag: <html lang="es">
http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html#DTD
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/
I use this one, which is the same, except for the html in lowercase. I'm not sure if that would matter.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Dit you check if there's any whitespace before the doctype?
The upper/lower case issue of "html" is described here: Recommended Doctype Declarations
I am trying to validate the following code with the W3C validator:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I get two errors:
Document type does not allow element "body" here
End tag for "html" which is not finished
Does anyone know how to fix this?
You're using the Frameset DTD, which doesn't allow body. It is meant for use with framesets, which are used to display frames. You can use Strict instead:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
