My page /index.html


<frameset rows="100,*, 0">
<frame name="nav" src="/nav.html">
<frame name="main" src="/main.html">
<frame name="buf" src="/blank.html">
</frameset>

In main.html, there is a link to replace buf.location.href, say LoadApplet.jsp, which will popup a n applet automatically. In main.html, if I use

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">
<head>

the applet won't show up; if I use:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
<html lang="en">
<head>

The applet pops up.

Don't know why. Is this a bug of XHTML doctype?

BTW, the doctype of LoadApplet.jsp is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC `-//W#0//DTD W3 HTML 3.2//EN`>

Are you experiencing this problem in all browsers or just one? The difference between the two initial doctypes you list in that only the XHTML one will trigger standards compliance mode in the browser.

If the bug exists in Firefox, what does the Javascript Console say? Does it list an error?

Thanks for your information. I checked the access_log, it shows wrong url was requested. It's apache not configured right. A 404 error was found. that's why applet not pops.
