Sharepoint 2007 and <!DOCTYPE html>

2.5k Views Asked by Kondor At 04 April 2025 at 16:29

Greetings...

I'm trying to get my Sharepoint 2007 site to render in Standards mode when browsing in IE. Since "!DOCTYPE html" makes every browser that I might be worrying about do just that, I decided to use it.

I've read here and there that Standards mode could cause unwanted behavior to some OOTB functionality and style (fly-outs, calendar items, etc...), but can't find a full list containing error reference and ways to correct it.

So, I'm looking for any kind of info and guidance on the matter... Just trying to avoid endless clicking through my app and hopping that some one altruistic by nature has gone through testing hell already and is willing to share.

Thanks...

The only viable option is to install the latest service packs and cumulative updates. SharePoint 2007 uses too many "quirky" features to fix by hand
