Hi there, hoping someone else has run into, and resolved, this one.
When we implement EES according to the guide the first line of the source code of a rendered page displays two tab characters before the !DOCTYPE declaration. I'm told this is not good, as it triggers compatibility mode for some IE users*.
I have experimented with a variation of the published instructions that moves the !DOCTYPE declaration ahead of the EES code. This shifts the whitespace to somewhere that it causes less (no?) harm… eg:
<!DOCTYPE html>
EES code
<html> … rest of the page
So, I'm wondering…
- Has anyone else had this problem?
- Is my solution likely to cause any issues (seems solid enough to me)
* we're getting reports of problems, but I'll be honest - I can't reproduce this problem, I'm going on user reports, so there may be some other issue at play. Does anyone know exactly where this whitespace-before-doctype situation comes from? - I can't find a definitive answer.
As always, thanks in advance!

yay - my 100th post :-)
