*frustrated cry*
ok..everytime i fix my webpages n update my keenspace, my webpages keep throwing more n more errors at me.
anyway, this is one that i can't fix. i mean..i'm pretty sure i got the coding right...but...i guess not since it isn't working somehow. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? this is wat it gives me(i spaced out the html code so that it can be disabled):

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

End tag 'a' does not match the start tag 'img'. Error processing resource 'http://jp626.keenspace.com/workspace/we ... acters.txt'. Line 20, Position 83

< a href="/workspace/webpages/archive.txt" >< img src="/images/button_archive.gif" >< /a >
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

the link seems to work here on the forum, but why wont it work on the webpages? i included the important html chunks that are needed, including the advertisement.

*sigh*

It appears you didn't put in the </img> tag. Put that before the < /a> tag, it should work then.

ok, so i put the </img> before the </a> but now there's a NEW problem...AGAIN.

this is what it gives me:

The XML page cannot be displayed

The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value. Error processing resource 'http://jp626.keenspace.com/workspace/we ... rchive.txt'. Line 22, Position 136

< a href="/workspace/webpages/links.txt" >< img src="/images/button_links.gif" >< /img >< /a > < a href="http://cookimonster626.blogdrive.com/ >< img src="/images/button_author.gif" >< /img >< /a >
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

the bolded red "<" is what the error is pointed at.
i dont get it!

ok, here's what i did.
i made a blank page from Notepad and copied and pasted the following code from indextemplate into the blank page:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<title>***comic_name*** - Where the sound of waves is all you can hear...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />

</head><body bgcolor="003660" text="C4E7F5" link="8AA6B2" vlink="1B92BF" alink="719AAB">
<div class="keen_ad" style="display:inline;">
***advertisement***
</div>

those ARE the required codes, right? and after that, i jus added the things i needed and then added in the closing tags.
STILL, i seem to have new errors after error.
*confused*

< a href="/workspace/webpages/links.txt" >< img src="/images/button_links.gif" >< /img >< /a > < a href="http://cookimonster626.blogdrive.com/ >< img src="/images/button_author.gif" >< /img >< /a >

This may not be your problem, but it looks like you're missing a quotation mark. Right after blogdrive.com/.

< a href="/workspace/webpages/links.txt" >< img src="/images/button_links.gif" >< /img >< /a > < a href="http://cookimonster626.blogdrive.com/[b]"[/b] >< img src="/images/button_author.gif" >< /img >< /a >

BTW,
instead of using < img src="whatever" whatever="whatever"> </img>
Use < img src="whatever" whatever="whatever" />

Similarly, use <br /> and <hr /> instead of you know what.
