We've used Vbulletin for years and have a couple of licenses, but I have never run into this.
Using a Javascript 2.1 menu system from Apycom, it barfs and gives javascript errors or doesn't work all due to the DOCTYPE line put out above the HTML tag at the top of pages.
I tried to copy an example, but then this forum freaked out and blew away the message.
It's the DOCTYPE line starting with a "<!". If I comment it out, everything works fine. I know I can force vbulletin to not export this line, but I'd like to know why? If I knew why, it would help, and maybe I can explain it to the other company.
I know in general the purpose of the DOCTYPE tag, but never thought a variation of it would cause a Javascript program to have problems.
Thanks for any info.
