Hi, I am trying to help a friend out with a few modifications to her website. I have found one page that appears to be a concatenation of three pages into one. There are literally three full sections of code in the page, each beginning with <html> and ending with </html> with what appear to be full sets of legitimate code for each with both head and body sections included. Two of the head sections contain links and style declaration.
Before I dig into this, I just thought I would ask - is this some sort of technique that (despite cutting a fair amount of HTML code for over the past fifteen years) I have just never run across before? I am not even sure why the page is actually loading. Are the second and third sets of html, head and body tags simply being ignored.
Wow, just when you think you have seen everything. Any help and or advice on why I should preserve this page as-is would be much appreciated.

consecutive <html> tags are not allowed. it’s plain wrong. period.
Hah ! I think I figured it out. I am guessing the previous "helper" didn't have immediate ftp access to the site. So he went to the site, navigated to the page, then used view source to get a copy of the page code. But what he actually got was the compiled output generated by several include files in the original page code, each with html sets. He then probably copied it all into a new html file from the output without really looking at anything but the one change he needed to make. Thus, the consecutive html sections. Then he ships the file off to the site owner who uploads it to the site. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Thanks to Dormilich for confirming the wrongness of it all. Ah, the humanity !!!

hi all,
just wondering if it is possible to call a function that resides on
external php file before any <html> tag?? i have a code that sets a
cookie which needs to be called before <html> tag. If I use that code
on the same file, it works fine. But I'd like to use it on a separate
php file so that it'd be easier to modify in the future because that
same function can be called from other files too... When I include the

Configuring a new instance of IIS, I noticed that it
allows an HTML-formatted document trailer to be appended
to every document served. Unfortunately, on checking
its behaviour, I find that it appends the trailer
/after/ the closing </HTML> of the document, separated
by a blank line. I therefore have a few questions :
1) Assuming HTML 4.01 Transitional, can anything
legitimately follow the closing </HTML> tag ?

Hi, in trying to discover why my RegisterStartUpScript wouldn't work (I
do NOT see it in the HTML source), I looked at the HTML source of a page
where I do an XslTransform.
First, I get the transform results as expected, beginning with <html>
and ending with </html> but then I see the following immediately after
that:

<HEAD>

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to place javascript outside of <html> tags? I'm trying
it on mozilla atm, and it seems to be working, but I was more worried
about the older browsers.

Hello.
I am attempting to write a "scraper" to download information from a
commercial web site. Oddly enough, they don't want to make this easy for me!
Their pages include plenty of Javascript, and more than a few redirects.
One that is stumping me is a small page that includes a document object
redirect in the <body> tag's onload() event. Like this:

This is bugging me: how do I reference the topmost node (HTML) within a document? I'd like to set a class on it, which specifies various browser/os/versions so that several browser/os/version-specific css bugs may be addressed without coding. eg: <HTML class="_IE _IE7 _Win _IE7Win">

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
