Sorry if this is OT.=C2=A0 While trying to understand this error: =C2=A0=20 =0A =0A =0A Line 2913,=0A Column 23:=0A an attribute val= ue literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI del= imiter=0A <div id=3D"mainContainer"=0A =0A =E2=9C=89=0A = =0A=0A =0A =0A Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the s= eparation =0A between the attribute and its declared value? =0A T= ypical syntax is attribute=3D"value".=0A =20 I learn from http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html that "'VI delimiter' = is a technical term for the equal sign." I'm all for precision, but I suggest it might be easier on the reader if th= e diagnostic read, "an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute sp= ecification list only after an equal sign." Would have helped me avoid that= extra level of indirection. It's only a nit. Even so, we don't often hear "will you please hurry up wit= h that Aedes repellent!" :-) I still don't grok why line 2913 produced the error. -- p --0-1370917548-1281905050=:17637 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><br>Sorry if this is OT.
