Doctype switch solves strange behaviour in IE7

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Had an issue with initial html-content in IE7. Solved it by switching the
doctype in the script.

WYSIWYG - jQuery plugin 0.4

Original line 76:

            html : '<'+'?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?'+'><!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" xml:lang="en"><head><meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">STYLE_SHEET</head><body>INITIAL_CONTENT</body></html>',

Changed to:

            html : '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">'+'<'+'?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?'+'><html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"><head><meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">STYLE_SHEET</head><body>INITIAL_CONTENT</body></html>',

Still wondering what that is good for: html : '<'+'? ...

Confirming: This is due to the quirks mode of Internet Explorer. the < ? xml 
....> is not part of xhtml standard 
and should be removed.
