Menu
I'm trying to get a simple Lift example running and I'm having a strange issue. I am using the Sonatype sample list project here. I modified the HTML slightly, but it wasn't working originally either. The issue I'm having is that when I run the local jetty server and try to access http://localhost:8080 it displays as XML in Firefox 3.6.10 rather than HTML. Note, it displays fine in IE8 but the Content-Type in IE8 is "text/html". I assume Firefox doesn't like the Content-Type "application/xhtml+xml" for some reason. The message in Firefox says:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
Below are the response headers from Firebug:
Expires Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:55:04 UTC
Content-Length 558
Cache-Control no-cache; private; no-store
Content-Type application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8
Pragma no-cache
Date Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:55:04 UTC

Server Jetty(6.1.22)
..and the actual response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Any ideas as to what is going wrong? How would I change the Content-Type in Lift for Firefox if that is the issue?

Alright, it looks like the problem is related to the element not having an xmlns attribute. After changing the XHTML to below it worked fine with the content type as "application/xhtml+xml":
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The problem should be in the use of both application/xhtml+xml content type and XHTML transitional dtd.
