Question

Child pages not updating (error: instance begin tag)

Hello,

This is a recurring issue that I have been able to solve after looking at many forum pages.

When I want to update child pages based on the Template/tours.dwt template file, it gives me this error code: "There is an error at line 4... unbalanced InstanceBegin tag."

I can't find the problem.

Here is the html for one of the child pages (none of them will update).

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/tours.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><meta name="description" content="Specializing

in cultural tours to the Caucasus, and representing Georgian traditional music abroad." />

<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->

<title>Georgian Chant | Tours</title>

<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

<link href="../screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

</head>

    The above looks like you have a carriage return after Specializing. One of the basic rules in HTML is

    Write a string of keywords of maximum 1000 characters, separate keywords by commas, need to be all in one line without any carriage return or line break.

    BenPleysier,

    Right you are, I've removed the carriage return after the word "Specializing." ...but that did nothing to solve my main problem.

    Can anyone understand why I am repeatedly getting an error code ("unbalanced InstanceBegin tag, line 4) when I try to update the child pages? It's not just for this template either, it's for all of them (I have about 10 templates, each with a few child pages).

    Now the code looks like this (I'll include the whole template).

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
