Hey Mark --
Can't remember if I answered this, but what we wanted there was a php snippet to check browser type and redirect mobile users to the mobile version of our finding aids. It looks like this:
<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/lib/findingaid_mobile.php"); ?>
Now that I look at it, maybe it IS a processing instruction, contrary to my last post. Have to go back and try it again...
Michele

Subject: Re: output prior to DOCTYPE
What do you need to insert before the DOCTYPE declaration? In general, putting content before the declaration is bad practice as it tends to throw Internet Explorer into "quirks mode", leading to often unpredictable results (see [0] for more information).
