Hi,

I was facing one problem for few days in rad combobox. The problem was the doctype.
Previously it was
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
which was not rendering my combobox properly.

After that I created new page and added the rad combo and was working fine.
When I checked the difference between two pages, only I found is the DOCTYPE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
was working properly.

Thing is it doesn't comes in developer's mind to set doctype properly.
Can you please suggest which one should be set for standard web pages !

Thanks

Hello Divyesh Chapaneri,

The second doctype is the one that will put internet explorer into the so called "strict rendering mode". You can find more info in the following web pages:
