parse error Can't Post

Hi

For some reason, some of my pages return the following error when I click on them:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in /home/terry/public_html/ebooks/doc_page16.html on line 19

does anyone know:

a) how that arises, so I can avoid it in future

b) how to correct it, as I can't acually find the offending character



Thanks very much



Terry

Hi Terry.

Thanks for posting!

I have seen similar things with some of our other programs before and each time it was tracked down to text that was originally written in word and pasted into DocBuilder. The problem here is that word uses what appear to be xml tags to create the red underlines for words it suspects are spelled incorrectly. Although it doesn’t seem to happen every time, these extra tags will sometimes come with the text you copy and paste. When a browser tries to load this page then, it gets an error because it is actually reading the page as xml.

What I find works as the best solution for this is to take the content of that document, paste it into notepad and then paste it back into DocBuilder. This should remove any extra tags that word added in.

Could you give that a shot for me? If you are still having trouble though, just send me a support request here:

And I’ll have a closer look Smile.

Thanks, Ross
that works a treat. For a while now I've been using a prog called TextPad, which doesn't put hidden codes in. Now I remember why!
