Hi,

I dont have an idea why Microsoft people could be very stupid to leave potholes in their products that prevents our solutions to work.

Everything was fine before our visitors have installed IE 7. Now with the following DOCTYPE, IE7 returns zero in document.body.scrollType.

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

My question is, How do I force ASP.NET not to send doctype ?

I really want Microsoft guys to launch WSYP release (dont know what it is ?? see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry7u6JF_B1c )

Thanks,

Fahad

I suspect your problem is with xhtml rendering rather than the doctype. Take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228268.aspx , and try adding the xhtmlConformance node to your web.config and setting it to legacy.

Hi Fahad,

Stop bad-mouthing Microsoft Angry If you dont like their products, then go code JSP and Servlets and enjoy pulling your hair out.

In the meantime, use the syntax as provided by W3C documentation (you know, those guys who created the doctype you are using):

    document.documentElement.scrollTop;

Have a nice day...

Regards,

Please don't bring up posts that are over a year old. Besides scrollTo is NOT an ASP.NET function/property. It is a DOM client-side property (JavaScript) and has absolutely nothing to do with .NET
