DOCTYPE tag above CF's form validation javascript

Hi,

CF 8 seems to put the form validation javascript at the very top of the page, even before the HTML tag and the DOCTYPE validation tag.  This is causing problems with my style sheet.  Do you know of a way I can (at the very least), put my DOCTYPE tag above the javscript that CF renders?

Thank you,

David

Include the head tag, to entice Coldfusion to put the script tags there. Something like this

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>test page</title></head>
<body >
<cfform>
</cfform>
</body>
</html>
