Dreamweaver CS3 Invalid Markup

« on: March 07, 2008, 12:39:15 PM »

Hi all,

Ok I'll admit I'm baffeled with this issue.

I keep getting the message

Quote

Marked because it doesn't belong inside the tag it's in.

This is absolute bull, since my code looks absolely fine, and it's been validated by W3C. The error points to the

Code:

</body></html>

tages at the bottom of my page. I've noticed this on my other pages too, and my code all looks fine.

Anyone encountered this issue before?

Cheers

Dug

Ok, I've had to take it line by line, and I've narrowed it down to the following:

Code:

and here is the rest of my code:

Code:

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<!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>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>douglasmcgregor.co.uk</title>
<link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" src="../js/GlobalFunctions.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center"><img src="../images/title.png" alt="Welcome to douglasmcgregor.co.uk" title="Welcome to douglasmcgregor.co.uk" /></div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div id="Login"></div>

</body>
</html>

I just can't see why it would have a problem with this. When I validate it it comes up with 10 errors. Am I missing something here?

Cheers

Dug

Hi Dug,

I would like to preface this post by stating that I am not very proficient in VBScript. But taking a quick look at the code you posted, the first place I would look for problems would be in the NavBar.asp and the Login.asp include files.

If you are getting errors due to the </html> and </body> tags, it is quite possible that those tags got slipped into one of the include files and as a result would force an error when the browser sees the extra set of closing tags after the include files are called.

As I mentioned I am not a VBScript pro, but I have had similar problems in PHP that you spend a day or two wracking the brain over until realizing that you hadn't checked the include files for duplicate tags.

Hope this helps!
