XHTML: browser rendering parse tree instead. Why?

Neil Zanella

Hello,

When I save the following file with the .xhtml or .xml extension I get
the XML parse tree and the following message instead of the actual
document.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information
associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

I wonder if anyone could explain the above message. Even when I place
<style>
information in the <head> element I still get the same message.

Thanks,

Neil

<html xmlns="http//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>?</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Aha! A missing or incorrectly written namespace can cause such a serious
error (altough the error message was useless). The XML Namespace should
have been:

<html xmlns="http//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

That fixes it.

Regards,

Neil
