Ok, let's calm down here. What Spartanicus is trying to tell you is that
your are specifying your document as XHTML1.1, the problem is to be
valid XHTML1.1 the content type the server should send the document is
'application/xhtml+xml'.
see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/xhtml-media-types.xhtml#summary
Now the problem here is IE does not support 'application/xhtml+xml' only
'text/html'. The fact that your see anything at all IE means the
document is being served as 'text/html' which means it is *not valid*
'XHTML1.1' but 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional'. Now this is not exactly the
problem you were asking about, but is a fundamental problem with your
situation, and DOCTYPE does effect the render mode of the browser. If
you have an invalid DOCTYPE the render mode of the browser will be
unpredictable. Fix your basic error first then we can address the
subsequent problems.

Take care,
