open dhtmlx forum
quirks or strict

Hi

I'm currently testing the dhtmlxtabbar for using on a small web app. The web app uses DOCTYPE strict.dtd which breaks the tab control . I've tried the loose.dtd also but this breaks it also. It looks like the tabbar uses the browers 'quirks' mode. Is that correct? Is there something I can do to use the tab control with my other strict compliant controls, web pages.

Thank You

Paul

Please provide exact text of used doctypes
Tabbar must work in case of

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

In case of
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

it works as well ( except one known issue with left oriented tabs in case of FF which will be fixed in next build )
