pixy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm writing my own forum script for a Harry potter website i'm doing. It's based on the entire wizarding world...but that's not the point.Look at this...this is the admin page to create a forum:[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/vanillachick/imcrazy_1.gif[/img]see the < mark? I can't figure out WHERE IT IS. I put font size to make it bigger so you can see it. Here's the HTML code:[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/vanillachick/imcrazy_3.gif[/img]And if it even matters, the PHP code:[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/vanillachick/imcrazy_2.gif[/img][b][size=6]WHERE IS IT? I CANNOT FIND IT.[/size][/b]It's driving me absolutely insane.

akitchin Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 usually stuff will appear out of nowhere when it's SUPPOSED to be in a table but the table has been closed prematurely. ie:[code]<table><tr><td>Stuff in column 1</td><td>Stuff in column 2</td></tr><tr><td></td>Stuff in column 3.</tr></table>[/code]"Stuff in column 3" is at the top of the table because it's outside of the cell code; it just gets shoved wherever the parser sees fit.long story short: look thoroughly through your table itself. there is a renegade < somewhere. my guess is on a "<</tr>".

AndyB Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If it's not in the source, try cleaning your monitor and see if the mark goes away ;DIn real life, it IS in your source code. Bet if you look really closely you find an orphan < somewhere in the code (and not necessarily where you expect it). Almost certainly there's some tag beginning with << instead of < Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14635-the-vanishing-markappears-on-screen-but-not-in-the-source/#findComment-58253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixy Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 ^ I already searched through it, and FOUND NOTHING. I did the CTRL+F and looked for << and it was no where to be found!I am so frustrated.

treilad Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hehe. I was going to say to CTRL + F '<<'...If that didn't work, try counting all the chicken lips in your HTML code. Pair them up as you go. If it's in the HTML code, you'll find it that way.

akitchin Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 to shorten the process, try jumping that <font> tag around the page. moving it consecutively down in blocks, and if the tag is suddenly not big anymore, you've gone past it.

pixy Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 To Akitchin, I tried doing that but whenever it went inside the table the font only affected the inside of that table...which didn't help.I did find it though. It was all wonky and whatnot, but it's good now. Thanks for the help. <3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14635-the-vanishing-markappears-on-screen-but-not-in-the-source/#findComment-58278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moron Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Temporarily type more text where you think the symbol is appearing. That will at least confirm whether you're pinpointing the right place or not.
