Cheers for the linkback
And as the first comment said, I’ve got this in my controller, before the dispatch() line.

$doctypeHelper = new Zend_View_Helper_Doctype();
$doctypeHelper->doctype(‘XHTML1_STRICT’);

Hello, our way to do this is in a Controller_Action base class adding a protected method that do the job.
The result is that each action in each module can do a $this->addCssFile(‘nameOfTheCss’);
The method add the css with the HeadLink view helper and before this verify that the css file exists.
Then all we have to do is an echo of $this->headLink() in a view

Same is applicable for javascript with HeadScript view helper.

What happens when you add this to the front controller?

require_once ‘Zend/View/Helper/Doctype.php’;
$doctypeHelper = new Zend_View_Helper_Doctype();
$doctypeHelper->doctype( XHTML1_TRANSITIONAL );
