FACT(s) (Environment):

WebSpeed 3.x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems

SYMPTOM(s):

Using Microsoft Internet Explorer

When WebSpeed generates HTML code, it inserts a header saying 'Generated by WebSpeed' and this can cause problems when displaying the HTML page.

Field heights are not correct and appear smaller than expected

Displayed text is obscured and is not shown correctly

Problem doesn't occur with browsers other than Internet Explorer

CAUSE:

Bug# OE00107713

CAUSE:

Microsoft Internet Explorer ignores !DOCTYPE declarations unless they appear on the very first line of the HTML page.
Other web browsers are less restrictive and allow the declaration to be preceded by comments.

FIX:

Upgrade to Progress 9.1E/WebSpeed 3.1E or later release
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1A or later release

To take into account the IE-specific behavior, the 'Generated by Webspeed' comment was moved to the HTML footer.

After the upgrade, the HTML will need to be regenerated/recompiled for this to take effect.


Workaround:
