generating HTML 4.01 instead of XHTML

I have to get HTML 4.01 instead of XHTML. I have not found any solution for this problem in this forum. Please do not try to tell my why XHTML is better than HTML (i read some kind of threads in here)... HTML 4.01 ist stricktly recommended at my current project, and i will not mix HTML and XHTML.

I am sorry to disappoint you but there is no HTML 4.1. Are you refering to HTML 4.01? Which one? Transitional or strict?

Arrgh... What a smartass :geek: ... Its a typo, you know :roll: ? Why did you respond a question with such a stupid question? I only want to know, where are the switch :twisted:

"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">"

There is no switch. Did you ever read the editor features? "Outputs XHTML 1.0" Period.

Did you try setting the DocType parameter during initialization?

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'FCKeditor1' ) ;
oFCKeditor.BasePath   = sBasePath ;
oFCKeditor.Height   = 300 ;
oFCKeditor.DocType = '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">';
oFCKeditor.Create() ;

No i did'nt, because these are no "Features" description in the documentation. Because of the many users of FCKeditor, i though it must have the ability to output html.
I read the documents and for example i found the DocType-parameter, this imply the possibility... but it only makes a dirty wrong header.
What i do not understand ist: why there is nothing in the faq about this?

@shri046: I found this setting in the documentation, but i don't know for what for this should be. If you set this, the inner html-document (the editor) is using this header, but the XHTML-tags are still there... i dont know any reason to do that, unless you like dirty code.

I read the 3.0 description, this versio n should be able to output HTML ... but when will it be released?
