Doctype not being rendered in page

[David Duran]

Firstly, hi everybody and thanks a lot for your support.

We have a problem in our webapp, because we are using facelets for composing the pages, but the designer has created some stylesheets for using in a html webpage with a  HTML 4.01 Transitional Doctype. So, after the page is rendered, the doctype is removed from the page and all the styles go nuts.

Is there any way to avoid doctype being removed by facelets and be showed in the final rendered web page?

I hope the explanation would be fine enough. Thanks a lot in advance.
