I have this DOCTYPE declaration on my web page, and it is causing an error in Internet Explorer 8 and prior versions. I’ve used this DOCTYPE before and have had the page load with no errors in Internet Explorer.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
This page is working fine in all other browsers. This is the error I receive from IE8 and earlier versions.
The XML page cannot be displayed.
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button.
Unspecified error Error processing resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your XML is probably invalid. Invalid XML should not be processed, except maybe by a repair tool. IE does this right.
