Invalid symbols in head of the page

Post by Tempus »

I've hoticed a strange code in the beginning of the every page. This symbols dysplayed in the backend and in the frontend.
It looks like:


Code: Select all

???????????<!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" xml:lang="ru" >
<head>
........
I have searched all of the templates - all is ok.

As a result I can't change any content of my site, because I receive a messaga like:

Code: Select all

Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
Received:
???????????<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><xjx><cmd n="as" t="contentlist" p="innerHTML"><![CDATA[
....
Please, help me. It's urgent!  :(

Tempus,

my default template says:

Code: Select all

<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}
So there is an additional "lang="en"" at the end. Does it work with "en", or do you get the error then as well,

Hm......
I'm trying to change lang="ru" to lang="en" in my template. Nothing matters. Source code (HTML) on the page doesn't change: lang="ru" has left, but in template it has changed.

Where is another head code that writing into the source of the page?

Sorry for my bad english  ::)

Thank you

You mean that if you got to

site.com/admin

and say "view source", that the question-marks are there. Than I don't have an idea what part of the installation pulls that already.....

If I say view-source, the first view lines say:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>CMS Login</title>

Yes, of course.

My first view lines are:


Code: Select all

???????????<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>CMS Login</title>
The site.com first lines of code are similar:

Code: Select all

???????????<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!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" xml:lang="ru" lang="ru">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.site.ru/modules/Album/css/stylesheet.css" />
<title>Site title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

I've just solved a problem.  ::) Problem was in 4 flies.

1. /modules/Guestbook/lang/ext/ru_RU.php
2. /modules/CompanyDirectory/lang/ru_RU.php
3. Site template
4. config.php

The problem consist in code conversion of files from other coding in UTF-8. If to look contents of these files in the HEX-editor it is possible to see right at the beginning of 4 additional incorrect symbols which at parsing are summarized and stand out in the certain code. I have loaded them in Notepad ++ and have recoded these files in UTF-8, preliminary having checked up on presence of these symbols. After that upload on a server and all has worked. Why these files? It those files which I changed intentionally manually. Someone it can have other files which it for any reasons changed.

All thanks for the help.
::) :)
