I only mention this as I to did the DW to Actinic process and the doctype was indeed an issue, introducing many gremlins. I would recommend that when starting your DW doc just set it to html 4 something to save your self the hassle. -
Actinic itself cannot be xhtml compliant, so this solution is a red herring and one without question that will present further problems down the line on other pages.
XHTML is also being dropped as i understand, so building to a standard that cannot be maintained in a language that has little future, seems somewhat flawed from this angle.Leave a comment:

just something to remember. actinic uses the ie engine and as far as i understand is not xhtml complaint.Leave a comment:

Problem fixed by putting my original DOCTYPE back in to the Actinics altered version.Leave a comment:

It's not that hard to understand how to register a design, so I don't believe that is where the problem is.
I do think the problem is in the doctype. My original is;
<!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">
Actinic changes that to;
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
Consequently, the styling breaks in my page. I believe my page to be well formed so was wondering if you could point me to any threads where users have experienced a similar scenario.Leave a comment:

As you register a design, actinic does the necessary to make it compliant, i can only assume that again there has been some mysterious changes by someone after that stage. Perhaps you are experiencing bugs that noone else has in the past 4 years, certainly doesn't sound like you are doing things correctly on the surface to me though. A jolly good read of the manual seems in order, it will take less time to read up on it than it will to try and clean up the mess after.Originally posted by neroe View Post
There are 3 fields where the widths of the central areas are defined, it may be linked to that, it may not be, that was just a long shot as you seem pretty sure the code is up to scratch.Originally posted by neroe View PostLeave a comment:

OK. If Actinics Javascript is not in my design then the design works perfectly. Put the Javascript in then it goes wrong (only in IE). So this must mean that my design is somehow not compliant with Actinic.
Which parts of site options must I alter to allow my design to appear as intended?Leave a comment:

Sounds like either some bad coding, incomplete coding or size inconsistencies where the sizes set in site options (3 of them) do not work with the design. Almost impossible to solve blind though, especially if you can't do it with it in front of you. We're good on here, but not that good!Leave a comment:

Lee,
JavaScript and import of design issues are fixed. However, another issue has cropped up that I hope you can assist with please.
My design uses only divs. Before import everything was perfect in both IE and Firefox. Now when I view the site within Actinic my content div has shifted to the right. When I preview it in IE it looks the same as in the software. When I view it in Firefox it looks like it should do. I have checked that none of my class names in my .css clash with any of the same name in Actinic's style sheet and they don't so I'm not sure what has happened.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?!Leave a comment:

LOL, that's about as woolley as a Welsh sheep with its winter coat on.Originally posted by neroe View Post
Translation (wild guess backed up by 5 years of hearing the same story): I got rid of those lines, i had no idea what they did, so thought i'd say bye bye to them
.
TIP: whatever you do, leave the head area as standard.Leave a comment:

When I registered the design the system stated that it had added extra code ... but for some reason that went missing. I'm guessing from what you replied I need to get that back. No problem, thanks for your help.Leave a comment:

No idea sorry, not something i've suffered myself. I'd guess that you've removed some essential JS files referenced in the head area, but that's a wild guess.Leave a comment:

Thanks for your patience. Yes I did. I couldn't figure out the location of the file that I needed to edit but I have it now.
I have run in to another problem. If I add a ShoppingCartSummary in to my design I get a 'A JavaScript error has been found on the page ('Object expected'). How can I fix that?Leave a comment:

I setup the site1 folder as the site folder when you create a site with DW. I just open it up from the list, change it, save it and flick back to actinic to see it. Did you follow what the very large warning message that came up on screen said to do when you was registering?Leave a comment:
