Hi all,
When I validate my page for xhtml I get this error:
Line 119, column 10: document type does not allow element "noscript" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
<noscript></noscript>
What does this mean? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks.
Kevin.
I think it's saying that it will only accept a "noscript" tag inside any of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins" or "del" tags, but not outside.
I stumbled across this problem with the "a" tag because I was used to put an <a name="..."></a> before the relevant heading. The validator complained that you can only put an "a" tag within "p", "h1" etc. I had to change it to <h1><a name="...">some heading</a></h1>.
It should make sense, because why use "noscript" in a place where it wasn't necessary in the first place.
This code:
validate fine for me so I have to think you have that noscript tag within something else but the body... do you?Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title> New Document </title> </head> <body> <noscript></noscript> </body> </html>
The NOSCRIPT element is a block-level element. Thus, if you have it inside an inline element like EM or SPAN, it won't work. Inline elements can't contain block elements.
Have it inside div tags. Is that the problem? Should I just put it outside the div tags?
Thanks.
That shouldn't be problem unless you have display: inline; on your div..
The CSS display property won't affect the validity of a markup-document. Make sure that you NOSCRIPT isn't in an inline element. DIV is a block element, so that's fine.
