http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6250 Summary: Doctype Override to HTML 3.2 or 2.0 fails Product: Validator Version: 0.8.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: check AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org ReportedBy: ot@w3.org QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org CC: ville.skytta@iki.fi Ville is tracking a bug in v0.8.4 of the validator whereby doctype override to any document type without System Identifier (HTML 2 and 3.2) fails with the following symptoms: 1) Warning (about undefined value being used IIRC) in server error log, 2) Incorrect doctype declaration inserted ("<!DOCTYPE html>") (show source), 3) Validator goes to HTML5 (!) mode and uses the HTML5 checker. This patch: http://www.w3.org/mid/E1L3mUf-0002d8-RA@lionel-hutz.w3.org seems to get rid of the symptoms, but there may be some underlying bug with doctype override and the changes made to doctype detection when we added HTML5 support. Worth an in-depth look at some point, before we can consider the case closed. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
