[Solved]"Smarty error:character "s" not allowed in prolog validates.. sometimes

[mobilexhtml]

Hi

I am having an issue with my header.. It sometimes shows up very far down on the page, I reload the page and it goes up where it should be...I use content block to fetch the header, which is a picture with this wrapped around it:




I also get this error (that I think is related) when trying to validate my templates..

#  Error  Line 1, Column 0: character "s" not allowed in prolog.
string(124) "Smarty error: [in template:44 line 11]: syntax error: unrecognized

I get 8 of them, all stating the same, but on different lines..

But the weird thing is that my templates validates as xhtml mp 1.0 for the most..
Meaning if I try to validate now..no problem, but if I wait 2 seconds and validate again it will either validate again or give me the smarty error..

I am thinking that when my header is where it should be, it validates and vice versa..

I though of the byte order mark issue, so I saved all my templates as ANSI and then copy pasted the code back to cmsms.. But this did nothing..(maybe because I just copy/pasted ?)

I run CMS Made Simple 1.4.1 "Spring Garden" and use firefox 3.0.4 with stupid stupid Vista


Hope someone can help..

are you sure that your doctype, set in the top of the template, is correct. As that definition already starts the issue...

No not really..but I thought that when it validates (for the most it is "all good" .. hmm..
and wikipedia says this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML_Mobi ... CTYPE   :D

But what do you mean "..definition already starts the issue... " ?

Nope, that did not help...

The smarty string error just goes on top of the doctype..

string(124) "Smarty error: [in template:32 line 11]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: color: #FFFFFF (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446)"

This was copied from the browser/source.. the other faults "Smarty error: character "s" not allowed in prolog" shows in the validator w3c..



correct me if I'm wrong....

But is smarty seeing this as some udt or global content block :


:link { color: #0000FF }

wrap {literal} .. {/literal} around it

Thank you.. It seem to have worked... 

I will "monitor" the site before I can say that this is [solved].., because this is a sneaky problem.. Just when I think it's okay, it gives me a surprise.. But so far so good..
