</body> problems

Post by roedygr »

I reported a problem with </body> completion earlier. Now there is a new problem. Validator does not notice
if </body></html> is missing.

here is some code:

Hello,

CSE HTML Validator has been changed to allow the omission of these end tags because the omission is technically allowed by the HTML specification.

If you go to the 'Grouped' tab in the Results Window, then you should see some messages about assuming that the missing end tags were omitted. You can change these messages to errors if you want to find this issue.

I did as you suggested. Unfortunately the error does not show up with the others, just in grouped.

The </div> completion problem is still there.

Yes, the messages will still be in the Grouped tab, but they should now be errors if you changed then to errors. If you want the messages with the others, then you can go to Options->Editor Options and the Results Window page and check the option to include grouped messages in the Messages tab. That may bring other messages you don't want into the Messages tab, however.

You may be able to use a custom validator user function for more precise control, however. If you want me to try to create the TNPL code, then please let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.

Can you supply some sample HTML and instructions on how to reproduce this problem? Thanks.

I posted some sample html above. Just take off the </body></html> put your cursor where </body> should be and hit </
it will autocomplete with </div> instead of </body>

Thanks. I believe I've found and fixed the problem for the next update. CSE HTML Validator was seeing the "div" start tag in a script you had in the page. It should now ignore all tags it sees in script sections when looking for a tag to end with the autocomplete feature.

Are not all my divs balanced, both inside and outside scripts?

I think your "div" tags are balanced. CSE HTML Validator was seeing this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">if (document.URL.indexOf("file:")!=0){document.writeln("<div class=\"g-plusone\"><"+"/div>");}</script>
It saw the start tag for "div" but not the end tag because the end tag was split into two strings: "<"+"/div>". Because CSE HTML Validator didn't see the end tag, it thought it needed to close the "div".
