Hi everyone I have an Ajax modal popup module that I've created for DNN which works brilliantly, in my dev environment at home using firefox and ie.

However on the live environment, on a portal that has a custom skin, and only in ie (definately 8, not sure about 7,etc) it goes mad! 

The popup is shown inline instead of center-screen. The opaque covering that is supposed to be applied to the screen is shown only below the popup. And the drop shadow is shown at the top of the screen on its own! 

I've tried loads of stuff but I cant seem to get a handle on why this is happening - I'd be grateful if someone can suggest why ? I've tried ie7 compatibility mode, clearing floats etc. This works fine with the standard DNN skin in all browsers, so it makes me think its something to do with the skin I'm using and ie not liking it ...? 

Any suggestions gratefully recd.

Many thanks

Rob

What is the DOCTYPE of the custom skin? My guess is that it is NOT XHTML Transitional 1.0, which causes the modal popup issue you're describing.

Thanks Chris, I'm glad it's something obvious! 

The doctype on the site is 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
which certainly isnt the one you mention. However I can;t find any mention of doctype in the skin files.....
which leads me to suspect that it is put there by something else, maybe this is the default? 

If so can you advise how I might change the default doctype, or how I can insert the correct one into the skin the site is running>? 

Many thanks,
 Rob

What version of DNN are you running? If 5.1+ you can change the default doctype on the host/host settings page.

otherwise you need to modify the doctype by adding a SKINNAME.doctype.xml file into the skin folder. You can see an example in the /portals/_default/skins/minimalextropy/ folder if you are running DNN 4.9.1+ 

You might be careful though, some skins won't display properly if you start modifying the skin itself.

Brilliant thanks again Chris

I'm currently running 4.9 so will have a look at the example, but planning a move to 5.2 soon so if it breaks anything I'll wait till I upgrade.

Cheers

Rob
