Getting validation error

[990805]

Hello,

 

Iam using joomla and iam using a plugin. I validated the page and getting this error:

 

Line 511, Column 43: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag

 

… class='outside'  style='width:450px;'><span></span><span>Wilt u meer weten ov…

 

✉

 

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 "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

 

 

This is the code where it has to be wrong:

 

$html2 .= "\n<div class='".(($_cap_pos_)?'inside':'outside')."'  style='width:".$_im_area_."px;'>";if($cur_cap_set){ //captions (specific or default) are set for this  image

$html2 .= "<span>".$cur_cap[0]."</span><span>".$cur_cap[1]."</span>";

 

Thanks

You need to show us the HTML output. PHP is irrelevant.

<div class='outside' style='width:440px;'><span></span><span>Wilt u meer weten over bovenstaande single, of met diegene in contact komen? Klik dan hier of op de foto om direct door te gaan naar haar persoonlijke pagina.</span>

Nothing wrong with the code you showed us there. Show us 10-20 lines before that as well.

That's a mess of code.

 

Tell me this, do you have any validation errors coming before thaｔ? It may not even be a real error - errors cascade. Other code that comes after an error may not in fact be an error, but the validator is confused because of the previous error.

[990805]

No... Thats the only error...

Anny help??

[haku]

Ok, your problem is here:

 

<a href='#'>
  <img src='#'/>
  <div class='outside' style='width:440px;'>
    <span></span>
    <span>Wilt u meer weten over bovenstaande single, of met diegene in contact komen? Klik dan hier of op de foto om direct door te gaan naar haar persoonlijke pagina.</span>
  </div>
  <br />
</a>

I took out a bunch of IDs and URLs to make it easier to see the problem.

You have a <div> inside an <a> tag. This isn't valid. Divs are block level elements, and <a> tags are inline elements. Block elements inside inline elements are invalid.

You will have to take the div out, or change it to a span or something.

[990805]

Ok! But when i change it in span it will give me alot more errors

What do i have to change in this code?

 

$html2 .= "\n<div class='".(($_cap_pos_)?'inside':'outside')."'  style='width:".$_im_area_."px;'>";

 

because this is the php code
