[OpenLayers-Users] DOCTYPE causes scripts to fail

[Gary Townsend]

Yes you're right my apologies I hit send before thinking my request full
through.

The errors I get vary on the browser in fire fox I get:

Error: this.position has no properties
Source File: http://localhost/lib/OpenLayers/Tile.js
Line: 103

IE 6 I get 
Line: 66
Error: this.tile is null or not an object

If I hit no to debug I then get

Line: 413
Error: Number Expected

I hadn't tried it in any other browsers.

These are the Doctype declarations I have tried it with.

DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"


The Javascript:
<script src="/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>
<scripttype="text/JavaScript">
function init(){
		var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map',
{'maxResolution':'auto'});
		var ol_wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled(
"Globe","http://www.resmap.com/resmapserver/mapserv.exe?map=C:/Inetpub/Resma
pRoot/ResmapSearch.map", {layers: 'Globe', format: 'jpeg'},{ratio:1} );
		var pb_wms = new
OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled("Borders","http://www.resmap.com/resmapserver/m
apserv.exe?map=C:/Inetpub/resmaproot/ResmapSearch.map", {layers:
'PoliticalBoundaries',format: 'gif', transparent:'true'} );

		map.addLayers([ol_wms,pb_wms]);
		map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
		map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(0, 0),0);
		map.events.register("zoomend",map,function(e){
		var mapBounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds();
		mapBounds = map.getExtent();
		document.forms[0].txtMinX.value = mapBounds.left;
		document.forms[0].txtMinY.value = mapBounds.bottom;
		document.forms[0].txtMaxX.value = mapBounds.right;
		document.forms[0].txtMaxY.value = mapBounds.top;
		});
		map.events.register("moveend",map,function(e){
		var mapBounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds();
		mapBounds = map.getExtent();
		document.forms[0].txtMinX.value = mapBounds.left;
		document.forms[0].txtMinY.value = mapBounds.bottom;
		document.forms[0].txtMaxX.value = mapBounds.right;
		document.forms[0].txtMaxY.value = mapBounds.top;
});
</script>

1. Are you using the single file build, or the developement
   automatic script-include builds?

2. Something more specific than 'starts returning errors' is neccesary
   here. Starting from an example and showing the smallest number of
   changes to cause an error is most beneficial, but if you can't do
   that, an example HTML page, or even an error message that you get,
   would be helpful in resolving problems.
