I am using a custom login form on a database and as soon as I turn the form in to a HTML generated form instead of using Domino to render the HTML, I get the above error in the browser and the form doesn’t load. I wanted to make this form a HTML form so I could customise the DOCTYPE value at the top of the page and use some CSS for laying the page out that doesn’t work correctly when Domino puts the DOCTYPE in instead.
Is there way way around this?

In normal forms, you could use the reserved field $$HtmlFrontMatter to override the server’s default DOCTYPE, but this doesn’t work for custom login pages (and because Stan knows that too well, he didn’t even mention it).
You can influence the default DOCTYPE served up by Domino through a notes.ini variable, but this is a server wide setting, so having your login page rendered the way you want to would most probably break everything else.

Not really – the pages served from domconfig.nsf (and the default equivalents) don’t use the normal Domino web engine. You get what you get.
