I have a very strange problem. I have used Radupload in a DNN module and it works perfectly with the standard DNN skin.
If I change the skin to (Catalyst) the Upload is not responding. This behavior only happens with IE6 or IE7, have not testet IE8, but it works ok with Mozilla. The skin developper suggest that the Radupload component  only works in a XHTML skin. The Catalyst skin is an HTML skin with a doctype of HTML 4.0 Transitional
I am confused.

Hi Torben,

I guess you are using the Catalyst skin from DrNuke? The HTML 4.0 Doctype that they are using is actually invalid which causes the page to be rendered in Quirks mode. This is the proper 4.0 Transitional Doctype:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Can you please try using this Doctype?

You can read more about Doctypes and see a list of valid Doctypes in this 'A List Apart' article.

Hi I forwarded your answar to DRNUKE here is the answar:

Hi Torben

Thank you for this information.

We don’t actually specify the doctype at all for Catalyst. We use the default DotNetNuke doctype. Changing the doctype to the one provided will cause the skin to render incorrectly.

If the module doesn’t work with what was the default doctype for DNN4, then it’s going to be difficult to get this to work. Catalyst was designed to work on DNN versions that pre-date the ability to even set the doctype. Hence it’s difficult to cater for a module that requires the doctype to be modified.

My only suggestion is to offer you a healthy discount off Flex2 which looks like this module will work with. Flex2 only supports DNN4.5+, hence we can change the doctype. We use

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Which should work with this module (you might want to check with Telerik).

I hope the above helps. Apologies I can’t give you a straight solution, much that I’d like to be able to.
