Every time I create a new XHTML page in Dreamweaver MX, it inserts the damn <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> string at the top. This wouldn't be so bad because one could simply delete it (still annoying). However, now DW MX inserts this string into all pages created from a template (even after i deleted the string from the source of the template and adding <!-- TemplateInfo codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="true" --> ). The solution - so i thought - sould be to uncheck "make XHTML compliant" in preferences and the "New.." dialog and to edit the Default.html standard template. This would also give the chance to add some standard meta tags and ASCII art (just kidding ). So i did change Default.html and....damn. DW displays the edited file with the XML tag at the top although "make XHTML compliant" is UNchecked... grrrr Can anyone help me with this? How do i kill the string from Dreamweaver MX? <´¯`·.¸ Patric ¸.·´¯`>

Mornin'

It drives me mad... and its not even 9:00 in the morning...

Every time I create a new XHTML page in Dreamweaver MX, it inserts the damn <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> string at the top. This wouldn't be so bad because one could simply delete it (still annoying). However, now DW MX inserts this string into all pages created from a template (even after i deleted the string from the source of the template and adding  ).

DW displays the edited file with the XML tag at the top although "make XHTML compliant" is UNchecked... grrrr

Can anyone help me with this? How do i kill the string from Dreamweaver MX?

well, why do you want it to be removed? its what classifies an xhtml document.

hmm, it might be somewhere in the DreamweaverMX/Configuration directories.
but since you say you unchecked it, this is weird. did you try restarting a new site from scratch?

ok, I've set up a new site from scratch, this is the result

1. Dreamweaver starts with a blank and correct Default.html without XML tag
2. Site window: File -> New file... correct new Default.html file without XML tag
3. Main window: File -> New... correct Default.html WITH XML TAG no matter if "Make Document XHTML compliant" is CHECKED OR UNCHECKED

Grumble, i do a lot of XHTML & CSS coding and the only thing you need to peoperly classify or make a doc XHTML compliant is the correct doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

however, DW MX inserts this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Now if you keep the <?xml version... stuff in there, it makes IE5+ use the "quirky" box model which means you can't apply the box model hack properly. Any doc without the xml tag validates just fine. So for me the xml tag is obsolete and I'd like it removed from DW altogether...
