Unclosed Element Div

  • February 7, 2017

This page can be viewed at http://www.maselva.com/Certification.html# Page displays properly on server but Dreamweaver does not validate.

Nancy has told me, "You MUST learn to comment ALL of your tags", so I am adding comments in order to close these elements.

Either I have done this incorrectly (no doubt) or something all together different is the problem.

I would appreciate any light you could shed on this.

    The end of your page should look like below:

    </div>

    </div>
    <!-- end media-object-default -->
    </div>
    <!-- end col-lg-6 col-md-6 -->
    </div>
    <!-- end container -->

    </body>
    </html>

    But you have this:

    </div>

    <!-- end col-lg-6 col-md-6 -->

    <!-- end media-object-default -->
    <!-- end container -->

    </body>
    </html>

    Sorry about the blank email…trigger finger.

    The light bulb comes on!

    So I had correctly added the comments. I just must add close divs before comment!? Also I see the sequence of comments on mine was not correct.

    Sure comments are just comments to help you identify where the container ends, The container still needs to be closed with a closing tag.

    Your  'media-object-default' container sits inside your 'col-lg-6 col-md-6 'container so it needs to be closed first, so natuarlly the comment would come first.

    See screenshot.  Hopefully this will help you identify code errors while you work.  In the example below, I have 2 un-closed <div> tags from line 9 and line 8.

    You have 3 un-closed <div> tags.  Try closing them with </div> and see how it looks.
