CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I began trying out the online demo today.  I went to  › CiviCRM › CiviEvent Dashboard › Manage Events › Manage Event Templates

The I brought up the page Edit Event Template - Paid Conference with Online Registration.

I looked at the code.  The page began with: DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN"

Because the page was declared as xhtml, I sent the page to the w3c validator.

I got back a list of 128 errors and 203 warnings.  The first error message was:

Line 116, Column 69: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "button", "map", "object", "ins", "del", "noscript" start-tag
…e-new-link"><span><div class="icon dropdown-icon"></div>Create New</span></div>✉
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. [/color] 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>").

What is causing all these errors?  Would I have the same problems, if I began using my own version of CiviCRM?  How can I help to correct this problem?
