Multiple doctype lines in .cfm pages
Hello,

I was just validating a site when I got the message that I had multiple doctypes. I looked in files and did not see anything, but when I view source for page sure enough there it is. I have used cf studio for pages, but hand coded (I like the color coding of tags). copied bulk of page and put into notepad, but got same. only way the tag dissappears is if I change extension to html from cfm.

here is what sourse looks like:

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


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

anyway to get rid of the hidden doctype?

here is page: URL

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

bill

Well, CF doesn't insert any doctypes (or anything else for that matter) into the output unless you tell it to. So somewhere in your code you are defining two doctypes. Try doing an extended find for '<!DOCTYPE' and see if you can find the place where the extra doctype is being declared.

nope. happens even if I type it up fresh from notepad. as long as it has .cfm extension. I am wondering if it is a server thing. I will check with the admins.

I'd still try to do an extended find to see if there is anything else doing it, as this can easily be added with <cfhtmlhead>. Also, check in the Application.cfm file, which automatically executes prior to any page request (if one is present anywhere in the directory tree). And yes, also check to make sure the web server or something else isn't doing this.
