I do the same, and you SHOULD change your doctype using that method.

You can get more details on doctype at : http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#docconf

I could be wrong, but I think the DocType they are using by defaults will through the browser, in most cases into quirks mode.  (right?)

I changed my DocType to be http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

You can do this by adding a file called myskin.doctype.xml  (the myskin has to be the same name as the skin.ascx file)

Inside the file you place this code.

<

SkinDocType><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">]]></SkinDocType>

I hope this helps.

What a great tip, endTagsMorty! I tried that and it works perfectly (I just had to remove the code that VWD puts into a new xml file).

Thanks!

Really the "best" one to use is preference to some degree. I perfer standards mode cause it helps cut down on some of Internet Explorer quirks. The key piece to know though is it needs to be transitional if you try strict things start to blow up quickly. I have yet to run into an issue when using xhtml transitional to force standards mode.

A tip for the search bar being cut off. Put a "wrapper" around your whole skin. Then set the max width to around 98% this should resolve the problem. Mainly caused with IE and its difference in padding / margins. This will create a small barrier needed to ensure nothing gets cropped off.
