I'm trying to use the Rad Editor to build a document, but it seems to change my document when I switch between the design view and html view.
How can this be avoided?
I enter this

Hi JB,
The HTML specification clearly states that if a <!DOCTYPE> element is present it must be the first element on the page. No other elements are allowed prior to it - period.
In this particular case, it is not the editor that "re-arranges" the tags, but the underlying browser engine - which *tries* to *fix* the incosnistent HTML *for you*.
To cut a long story short - you will not be able to have any content prior to the <!DOCTYPE> declaration. If this is a requirement for your project, you will need to join this extra content with the *normal* content at a later stage - e.g. once that the content has been submitted from the editor to the server.
