Document Type Declaration Error

Monday, June 11, 2007 12:15:45 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00) ( ASP.NET )

I had a problem recently where my CSS in my pages was out of whack and couldn't figure out why. It turned out that my document type declaration was in the wrong place and was causing the problem. This document type declaration is the VS 2005 default for new .aspx pages.

I was doing this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SQLClient" %>

<script runat="server">

.....

</script>

and structuring it this way corrected the problem

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SQLClient" %>

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

<script runat="server">

.....

</script>
