bug with DW CS4 template and HTML5?

4/04/2013 8:13 amS.WebAssist447033

You don't need to revert to a pre-HTML5 DOCTYPE: you simply need to explicitly include an <html> tag (which is optional in HTML, and should be inferred if not included, but appears to be required by Dreamweaver when it's determining what is code outside of the <html> element).

So this works:

<!doctype html>
<html>

Your XHTML1.0 version worked because your XHTML boilerplate included an <html> tag.

Thank you for posting this, by the way. We were struggling with the same problem, and your mention of it working in XHTML1.0 was enough of a hint to help us to solve it.
