Need help with: jquery preend doctype to html

Here is my situation:

  • I am editing an application CSS stylesheet.
  • I can ONLY edit the CSS stylesheet (if I cannot creatively peek into another file using CSS or maybe add a small jQuery presale operator in an existing .js)
  • Application ONLY ie6, ie7 and ie8. They never use FireFox, and this is not an option.

1) I think I need to use jQuery for "prepend / prependTo" "doctype" on

html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"

Without! doctype it throws ie8 into quirksmode and, of course, does not accept any styles such as "input [type = checkbox]"

I have not used preend before. Can you help me with the full and correct syntax on how to do the following:

CURRENT: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

DESIRED: <doctype html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

It hasn't worked for me yet $("html ").prepend("doctype ")
