Change Page Doctype

[tadhg88]

Hi, I am developing an app using C#, asp.net and vs2008, i want to replace the current doctype

[!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" ]

with a different version

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

when specific pages are displayed, so im just wondering if this is possible and if so what i need to be searching for? Thanks in advance Tim

You want to change this at runtime? Maybe a placeholder or a literal maybe?

yes i need to change it at runtime basically because i need to apply CSS layout to 2 specific user controls but if i change the doctype for every page the entire web app is centered on the page, thanks for your reply ill check out these options Tim
