Hi, The HTML validator would be a lot more useful if it told me which div it was closing at each step http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthrockcapital.wikihosting.com%2Ftwiki%2Fbin%2Fview%2FNorthrock%2FWebHome%3Ftemplate%3Dviewprint&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&sp=1&verbose=1 says there is a /div missing - but where? The code here is generated - from many files. To help with diagnostics we have a convention that we comment which div you are closing, so if you look at the HTML I am validating you will see </div> <!-- /whatever --> But the validator strips the comments from the parse tree (fair enough) but does not tell me anywhere which div it closed at each step. All it would need to do is tell me which <div whatever> its closing each time it encounters a </div>. I searched the mailing list and bugzilla database for 'nested' before reporting it here. I hope this helps. If there are any replies please CC me as I am not on the list. I'll post this description to bugzilla in a couple of days unless I hear to the contrary.
