title: HTML Doctype Setting / IE Quirks Mode
body: <p>I'm working within the parameters of an un-reachable developer, whom has created an html generation system for our products.. Whenever a new page is generated he places:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- updated page at 05/MAY/2010 02:58.58 --&gt;
  &lt;!-- You must use the template manager to modify the formatting of this page. --&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>resulting in my code looking like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- updated page at 05/MAY/2010 02:55.30 --&gt;
  &lt;!-- You must use the template manager to modify the formatting of this page. --&gt;
  &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't believe IE read's this doctype at all, as when looking at the developer screen, it renders in Quirks mode... is there any other way to force IE out of this horrible Quirks mode? I've been trying to reach the developer but he has been rather un-available.. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for any help you might have to offer.</p>
  
  <p>//EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible to do via javascript, to hit the parent page with an on load command?</p>
