Hi everyone,we have an urgent problem with using url parameter OutputFormat=XHTML. If we put any javascript into JSHeader of our form and then we try to open the form in internet browser, such as IE7, FireFox 2/3, or Opera, all these browsers alert us with an error on line that start with this:

<![CDATA[ According to my colleague, the problem is that Domino generates Content-Type: text/html instead of Content-Type: application/xhtml + xml. Is there any way how we can change the content-type without changing it in properties of the form. Because, if we change it there then Domino will work only with limited URL commands. The second hack is that precedes html comments before CDATA comments, but new browsers are not able to work with it. Does anyone of you has any experience with it? And if so, how did you solve the problem? We need to solve the problem, cause our client requires XHTML web applications and we didn't come with better idea than using OutputFormat=XHTML. Just for ilustration, here is how the code looks like in browser:

Subject: The solution

It seems like you can actually really use the outputformat=xhtml. The glitch is that domino will create the CDATA text for _doClick and other JavaScript which you put in JSHeader. However, you can avoid all of this by linking all your JavaScript from external files and turning off "Use JavaScript when generating … " in database properties.
