hi, there is a problem with the html document head part printed out with $query->start_html(); i start a script in a javascript opened window ->

window.open('form.cgi','Registration','width=300,height=450,scrollbars
+=yes');
[download]

The head that is print out is this->

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"><head><title>F
+UTURA IMMOBILIEN Expose Download</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../assets/globalstyle.css
+" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide script
//<![CDATA[
function check_contactForm(contactForm){

  HERE IS THE JAVASCRIPT PART

}

//]]> End script hiding -->
</script>
</head><body bgcolor="white" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" onload="se
+lf.focus()" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10">
[download]

and this is the print $query->start_html =>

print $query->start_html(-title=>'FUTURA IMMOBILIEN Expose Download',
                             -style=>{'src'=>'../assets/globalstyle.cs
+s'},
                 -script=>$jscript,
                             -BGCOLOR=>'white',
                             -topmargin=>'10',
                             -leftmargin=>'10',
                             -marginheight=>'10',
                             -marginwidth=>'10',
                 -onLoad=>'self.focus()');

now the problem: the form that is printed in the body, is longer than the window, but in ie5 the window shows no scrollbars, in nn6 and nn4.7 there are scrollbars...?! if i print out the head in old fashioned style with a print for each row of text , ie5 shows the scrollbars... is it possible that ie5 doesn´t like this part

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US">

any clue what to do, i just don´t want to use old fashioned style, it is much longer...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
