I've tried using the red leaf skin with dnn 4.0.2 and I see that the meta tags become malformed when I do a view source. The close tags seem to disappear. Is dnn 4.0.2 doing something different when interpreting the default.aspx code? I see you've released the skin against 4.0.3. I cant imagine any chanes where this problem would be caused. Thanks, Patrick

Hello Patrick, Sounds strange. So you downloaded the default.aspx file for 4.0.3? I did have a 4.0.2 version previously where the only difference was: This is in 4.0.3 (available for download) <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> and this was the 4.0.2 <html> I seem to recall someone had a similar problem with the metatags and discovered that adding that code into the html tag fixed the problem, which is why that version is available for download and should work for 4.02 and 4.03 as the default.aspx files are the same.

Hello, DotNetNuke itself produces code which does not validate, so you need to make tweaks to the core code of DNN in order to have a site that fully validates. First steps are to ensure your skin and CSS code fully validates 2nd - remove all of the invalid CSS code that comes with DNN in the default.css file - I have written about reducing the code in the default.css file here: http://www.skinningtoolkit.com/ARTI...fault.aspx Your next step is to edit the core code of DNN. - There is a tutorial on how to do this with DNN3.x by Tim O'Brien but there currently is not one for DNN4.x the principles will be similar though. - You need to register with the website and login in order to see the tutorial. http://www.obrienit.se You may also find it useful to read this interview with Tim covering skinning and validation: http://www.dnncreative.com/tabid/25...fault.aspx
