You are mixing HTML and XML Style.
Drop the / in HTML empty tags.

Not sure if this causes the error, but your doctype states
HTML, not XHTML. So you shouldn't put a / before the >.

Yes, that is the cause of the error. Google for SHORTTAGS, or see
http://valet.webthing.com/page/parsemode.html

If you validate with Page Valet and select SGML mode you'll get
the same error you saw. Select HTML mode and you'll get a more
meaningful error message.

Thanks all, I redid the doctype as xhtml and all is well.

I want to know if ASP.NET Web Forms Validation Controls are Server-Side or Client-Side form validation? Since I think each validator control can select either 1) JavaScript based error dialog or 2) show the error message next to the control. For example, if the text field is empty with RequiredField Validator control, it can show the value in ControlToValidate property in two ways as I mentioned. Please advise. Thanks!

Ok, I've been looking through the .NET SDK docs and stuff. I'm wondering if you can provide a control extender that does generic validation or functionality just by dropping it on the form. For instance, using the IExtenderProvider interface, you can specify properties, but there is nothing documented about linking into a control's events. For instance, in my application, there are specific formatting, functionality and validation for...

I'm new to C#, (coming from a Java programming background), and I have a question about the correct use of exceptions. My book "Programming C#" by O'Reilly says the following in Chapter 11, "Handling Exceptions", on page 245: "An error is caused by user action. For example, the user might enter a number where a letter is expected. Once again, an error might cause an exception, but you can still prevent that by catching errors with...

Hi, I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql db. I would like to validate the form. I have tried a couple of Javascript form validation functions, but it appears that the data goes straight to the processing page, rather than the javascript seeing if data is missing and popping up an alert. I thought it may be because much of the form is populated with data from the db (lists, etc.), but when I leave...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
