just installed the new dnn 440, looks great! Thanks all the team

I'm very interested in accessibility and I noticed the SkinDocType variable in default.aspx.

I think any web designer can define the DocType in the skin... (if I understand) 

but how does it works?

Thanks
Luca

The DocType header is actually defined by default in the default.aspx page which serves all the other elements like your description, key words (which you can set in dnn per page)

By having this flexibility you have backward compatibility in the look and feel of the skins and independence on multiportal installations, so that if you've got a bunch of skins that require XHTML & Strict header types, you can use them without affecting any other skins in your site or subsequent portals.

This is basically a move forward to providing more compliancy and backward compatibility - allowing the designer more choices.

Does this help give more outline.

Thanks for your answer Nina.

I'd like to start working immediatly with a new skin that uses the XHTML doctype. Is there an example of a skin code or any documentation?

Bye
Luca

I understand what Doctype is and that it is now configurable...but how?  What do I need to do to set the DocType for my skin?

I haven't installed 4.4 yout so my best guess is:

Try adding a doctype def e.g.:

'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

in the top of your HTML skin file. The skin parser will probably pick it up and convert it to a ascx file. THen in your ascx file you can check how the property is used.
