I have the following html file [code]<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!-- apples.html The contents of the apple frame (displayed in second frame of frames.html) of frames.html - a general description of fruit --> <html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> Apple Information </title> </head> <body> <p> Apple is the common name for any tree of the genus Malus, of the family Rosaceae. Apple trees grow in any of the temperate areas of the world. Some apple blossoms are white, but most have stripes or tints of rose. Some apple blossoms are bright red. Apples have a firm and fleshy structure that grows from the blossom. The colors of apples range from green to very dark red. The wood of apple trees is fine-grained and hard. It is, therefore, good for furniture construction. Apple trees have been grown for many centuries. They are propagated by grafting because they do not reproduce themselves. </p> </body> </html> [/code] When I place this file in the htdocs docs folder of Apache (which I obtained from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) and open up IE and go to http://localhost/apples.html, I find that the html file is wrongly displayed as an xml file with a listing of all the tags and their content. But if I take out the xml declaration or alternatively leave the xml declaration in and make the comment at the top to be very short (i.e. <!-- apples.html -->), then IE displays the html file properly. Also if I open up Windows Explorer and navigate to apples.html and double click on it, IE opens up and displays the html file properly. But yet I can open up http://localhost/apples.html in Firefox and it displays the html file properly even though IE won't. Is the xml declaration causing the html file to be displayed improperly in IE? And why does this problem only occur when I am trying to access it from Apache (i.e. in http://localhost/apples.html)? Any insight that someone could give would be appreciated. Thanks

When I open up IE6 and go to http://localhost/apples.html, I find that the html file is displayed like an xml file would be with a listing of all the html tags and content. But if I take out the xml declaration, IE6 displays the html file properly. I also discovered that if I leave the xml declaration in and take out the comment or make it very short, then IE6 displays the html file properly. In addition, if I open up Windows Explorer and navigate to where apples.html is located on my hard drive and double click on it, the html file is displayed properly by IE. Moreover, I find that Mozilla Firefox displays it properly all the time. Does any one know why this is happeneing? Is the xml declaration causing problems?
