Everytime xoops 2.5.0 displays a form on the "userside", my browers go in quirksmode.

This happens also in the default theme.

I had this problem before with some modules, but fixed it by adding $xoopsOption['template_main'] = '' in the php file responable for content.

News Module > submit.php
PD Links Module > header.php

But these are just workarounds, i think. We should find the cause and fix Xoops.

As always, we have to ask for more information:

- what browser/version?
- what modules?
- screenshot or link to you Website, so we can see it what is exactly happening.

Xoops 2.5.0
Explorer and Firefox latest versions.
All modules with forms. (maybe depending on form type?)

The site is running locally at the moment, so here are some shots.

while site should be:

It's now when displaying the add comment form, but i had it also when displaying submit news form and others.
(https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=73525&forum=28&post_id=337685#forumpost33768)

When viewing the generated source (FF), the content of the head tag is inside the body tag.

It seems like something has been changed in the CSS, so now the lines instead of white, are transparent.

I suggest, try a tool like Firebug to see what settings defines the transparent color, and change it there to white or other color.

Unless somebody sees a different problem/solution here.

It's not the css, i think. check the source (head and body tags) when in quirksmode:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="nl" lang="nl"><head></head><body id="extcal" class="nl">


    
<!-- Assign Theme name -->
    
    <!-- 
Title and meta -->
    <
meta http-equiv="content-language" content="nl">
    <
meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <
title>etc.....


I think it has somtething to do with how xoops themes stuff.

In the screenshot's case adding
$xoopsOption['template_main'] = '';

to extcal/comment_new.php avoids quirksmode.

Thats how i did it at other modules, but its just a workaround, i think.

I'm so sorry. It's not a bug at all.

Apparently I had saved header.php as utf8 with BOM.

Don't even know why I saved it since I didn't change anything.

For futute reference....Save your php files as UTF8 without BOM!!!

(as you should know already, like i did )
