Steps to reproduce:

The bugzilla web interface and documentation are still using an old doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Most application are nowadays using the modern and simpler doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html>


Attached patch against trunk should fix most occurrences.

Changing doctype also means our HTML output needs to conform to the new standard. This means changing it appropriately. Have you checked what changes are needed?

And isn't simple html doctype for HTML5, which is not even a standard yet and thus can still change?
And actually this is a duplicate.
