On a html page the doctype I’ve used is as follows (for a mobile website):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN" 
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">

which after uploading on the web server automatically turns into

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

To make it clear this change happens as soon as I save the page on the server. (using cPanel)
Any idea on what could be the reason for this (automatic) change?
Because of this the layout of the page is not coming out as I expect it to be on some browsers.

    Ok, I think I’ve figured out the exact problem, it happens only when I use the cPanel editor to edit the html page and not when I just upload the file and not open it in their editor. As Jeremy said in the comments below the question, it’s cPanel changing (screwing?) it for me!

    Thanks a lot everyone, especially Jeremy! 🙂

    btw should I now delete this question or keep it as someone else might also face similar issue?
