tinymce.min.js:9 Failed to initialize the editor as the document is not in standards mode. TinyMCE requires standards mode getting such type of error

Hi All I am using tinymce 5.1.3 version and trying to implement a new textarea using javascript but while implementing it in our application I am getting the below error

"tinymce.min.js:9 Failed to initialize the editor as the document is not in standards mode. TinyMCE requires standards mode".

Previous I was using the 3.5.11 version of tinymce but  i was getting formatting issue  like my output text was coming in html format after doing the save by clicking on save button which is provided by the tinymce editor

e.g:- "Hello alll "   will come like this    <p><b>Hello alll</b></p>

There I resolve the coming of <p> tag by using force_root_block =" ", 

 but the other rich text syntax like bold and italic was coming in the same way and no solution worked for me even getContent method also not worked .Is it a version issue of Tinymce???

So Trying to implement the newer version but again the below error is coming and i am stopped here..

"tinymce.min.js:9 Failed to initialize the editor as the document is not in standards mode. TinyMCE requires standards mode".

I am writting the below code for the new version:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/wps/themes/html/ACSDefault/scripts/tinymce/tinymce.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode:"specific_textareas",
editor_selector : "tinymce"

});
</script>

Please suggest some solution that can resolve my issue.

I got the same issue, even though I have included the DOCTYPE and is formatted in proper HTML5 format. But, I forgot to add a closing </div> somewhere in the page and hence it threw that error. Fixing it solved the issue.

The error message itself tells you all you need to know to resolve this issue: TinyMCE can only run when the browser is in "Standards Mode" as opposed to "Quirks Mode".  TinyMCE did not put your browser in Quirks mode, so if you can solve the issue that caused this, TinyMCE should run.

The most common reason a browser may be put in Quirks mode is if there is no valid DOCTYPE declaration in your HTML document. But there are many reasons a browser can be in Quirks mode. Resolve that, and Tiny should work.

Here's some info about Quirks mode:

As I searched it in google and from there I got the solution to use DOCTYPE on the top of my page.. It is a jsp which we are using for our application.. But don't know why this solution also don't work.... Where I am doing the mistake???

In this way my code is written

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.acs-inc.com/custom" prefix="m"%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" session="false"%>

<script type="Tinymce installed path"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">


tinyMCE.init({
mode:"specific_textareas",
editor_selector : "tinymce"

});
</script>

As our website is a older one . So may be Tinymce 5 is not supporting the textarea .Please tell me here what i Should change so my twxt area will come
