startExpandCollapse NOT XHTML VALID [SOLVED]

[pamelina]

Hello,

When using 'startExpandCollapse' it fails to validate as XHTML VALID...

There is problem with '; in function.startExpandCollapse.php

Here is XHTML output ...

   1.   Error  Line 206, Column 32: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

     
example



     

      The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

      One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "" or "") inside an inline element (such as "", "", or "").

Has anyone found a solution for above problem?

Hey Pamelina

perhaps you placed the tag between ...
A 'div' between 'p' isn't W3C valid.

Hi Rolf,

The problem is within function.startExpandCollapse.php ...
not with ...

Or you might have 2 same ID's which is forbidden.

Hi Pamelina,

Perhaps you can give us a page url?


Had the same problem once. I can reproduce this error:
When I place the following line in a page, it isn't xhtml valid anymore.

Code: Select all

<p><div>rolf</div></p>

W3C output:

Line 144, Column 4: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

In your case, the would be made by the {startExpandCollapse} tag...
The by TinyMCE?

I will agree with Rolf here.

You are calling the {startExpandCollapse} tag inside of a paragraph. It is not valid to do so.

I will be it looks kind of like this in your source:

Code: Select all

<p> Text text text more text some more text <div id="answer" class="expand"><br />example<br /></div></p>

Try calling the tag after your paragraph.

Code: Select all

<p> Text text text more text some more text </p>
<div id="answer" class="expand"><br />example<br /></div>

It can also look like this in your administration area:

Code: Select all

<p>text text text text </p>
{startExpandCollapse}
