Simple edit

We are having a problem with simple edit mode.
When we create a new page (using asset builders) and navigate to the edit content screen using Simple edit we only get the two Create new lines on the page with the selection box for Div or Table. There is no empty div ready to go and there are no icons to actually 'do' the create new div.

If we duck in the admin interface and drop some content in then we navigate back to the simple edit we can now see the content and clicking on this opens the WYSIWYG editor (still none of the 'normal' icons though).

This problem is occuring about 90% of the time. Is it something we are doing wrong or a bug or what?

Its a known bug with an XHTML type declaration. You will need to use show_if design conditions to supress the XHTML doctype declaration in Simple Edit mode.

OK thanks.
was about to ask how to do that but found it here http://forums.matrix.squiz.net/index.php?showtopic=683&hl=show_if

Should have known the one time I didn’t search first the answer was already on the forums!
