HTML 5 Doctype

HTML 5 Doctype was created by jk78
I apologize if this is the wrong category, but how would I change the HTML Doctype on my survey?

I am using the tfr_responsive template and it is a beautiful responsive template, but when I use it in IE 10 or 11, IE defaults to IE 7 mode (according to the IE Developer Console).

When I switch the document mode to IE Edge, it works just fine (the template, as designed).

So where can I adjust the HTML Doctype? I did not find this in the template source files.

Current Doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">
<html xmlns=" www.w3.org/1999/xhtml " xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Preferred Doctype:
HTML 5 or whatever you think will get IE to default to IE Edge.

Thanks!

Try with : git.framasoft.org/Shnoulle/SkeletonQuest...r/startpage.pstpl#L2

Is this an issue with this special template because it uses bootstrap?

Would it work to add some JS to template.js to adjust the doctype?

@Mazi : i didn't test with IE11 SkeletonQuest, but you can try adding:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>
At start of startpage.pstpl

You can not adjust with js i think.

@jk78 We cannot reproduce this. Tested in IE11 in Win7Pro and Win8.1Pro our demo survey defaults to Edge:
survey.toolsforresearch.com/index.php/123456/lang-en

In fact, you cannot even switch it in the developer console to IE8 or IE7. If you try it, JS issues a warning that IE8 or lower is not supported.

Which OS and template version are you using? Do you experience the same on our demo survey?

@Denis -- adding this "<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>", which you noted, to startpage.pstpl worked perfectly.

As I was looking in the IE developer console, I noticed the message that the IE compatibility mode was the default for intranet sites in my organization...by adding the meta tag above, I was able to override this internal setting to get the template to display properly.

Therefore, I think this is just an issue internal to my organization and I am thankful for the ability for the meta override.

Thank you for all your help.

Hi guys, we also looked into this. The solution jk78 gave will probably work in his situiation, but taking up the EDGE specification as a default probably does more harm than good.

That's why we will not build it in as a standard solution.
