<%=DocType%>

Hi,

(version 8.0)

I want to tweak the doctype for our kentico site. I checked the /CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx file, and this is what it has for the doctype:

<%=DocType%>

Would anybody be able to tell me where that "DocType" variable is set? I haven't found anything in the master template ... maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

Thank you, Rita.

The DocType variable is set on the "Master page" tab of pages that use a master template.

It's going to be on the "Master Page" tab on your page node (usually the root document).

Assign a page a Template that has the "Is Master Template" checked.

Save, possibly refresh, and you'll see a Master Page tab next to the Form tab.

There has the Doc Type, Namespace, etc places. Hope that helps!

Hi,

There is no value set for the doctype on the master page.

Lol ugh, but I just had an epiphany ... the doctype I'm seeing when I do a view source in my browser must be a default doctype that's added by the browser! No wonder I couldn't find it set anywhere in kentico.

So if I set a doctype on the master page, that should replace the default doctype I'm seeing now.

Thanks, Rita.
