Hi

I'm trying to install XHTML skins on my DNN4.8.3 site and having a problem where adding the skin.doctype.xml document causes javascript errors. The symptons include FCKEditor not displaying, FeedBrowser having no styles attached, and various other style issues where javascript is used.
I've made all changes mentioned in the tutorials on this site and the pages validate correctly. I've confirmed this error on my own skins and third party skins, including the core DNN-Blue and DNN-Grey skins.

Any ideas where to start looking for the solution here?

Thanks
Ryan

I have not come across that problem, have you tried installing one of these skins?

I reinstalled the FCKeditor from a default install and fixed that error, but the style problem still exists with the FeedBrowser.

I tried installing Andreas09 and got the same problem with the Feedbrowser, even on a clean install.

ok, well this sounds like a bug then, I would report it to the core team and see if they can find a fix for it in future versions, thanks,

I was having the same types of javascript errors with my XHTML skin and the File Manager control.  I checked into it and I determined that the initFileManager() javascript function was not being called on page load when my doctype was set to XHTML transitional. 

I added this line:

window.onload=initFileManager;

to the javascript at the top of admin-->files-->filemanager.ascx to get the control to work with my XHTML skin.


I am willing to bet that your javascript is erroring out because it is not being initialized on page load properly for the same reason.

I found the solution to the feedbrowser problem in my case. In the settings for the Feedbrowser, the values of the Themes, platinum and graphite are lowercase, but need to be Title case in order to match the css classes in the javascript and css files.

In:

admin/syndication/feedbrowsersettings.ascx

Change:

ropDownList id="Theme" runat="server" CssClass="NormalTextBox" Width="250px">
                Platinum
                Graphite
ropDownList>

to

ropDownList id="Theme" runat="server" CssClass="NormalTextBox" Width="250px">
                Platinum
                Graphite
ropDownList>

sorry about that, i can't get it to display code correctly. In those two lines, you'll see that the value of both listitems is set to lowercase, change them to uppercase.
