Unbalanced body code error

Report · Mar 05, 2018

I'm getting an unbalanced body code error on a web site that I haven't made changes to for over a year.

when I try to update the template I get the error and the pages will not update.

I'm using CS6 for this web site.

Here's my code. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

<!doctype html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

Do the following if you're using your customized build of modernizr (http://www.modernizr.com/):

* insert the link to your js here

* remove the link below to the html5shiv

* add the "no-js" class to the html tags at the top

* you can also remove the link to respond.min.js if you included the MQ Polyfill in your modernizr build

The only problems that I see

images without an 'alt' attribute
a div with an align attribute

You state that you are getting an error message, where from may I ask?

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

The error comes in DreamWeaver (cs6). When I go to my template and try to make a change it tells me there is an unbalanced body tag error on line 63. the only thing on that line is <body>

It will not let me update the individual pages after making the change to the template.

I may have to edit the pages individually with some other kind of editor in order to get the change taken care of.

Thanks for the reply.

You can still use Dreamweaver, merely detach the document from the Template

Ben,

Wow. The things you learn on the forum...

I'll play with that in the morning. I appreciate the info. Thank you very much!

Before you detach Template, try putting your GA tracking script inside the <head> tag, and moving the Template editable under the closing </head> like this:

!doctype html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<![endif]-->

._css3m { display: none }

</style>

(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i=i||function(){

(i.q=i.q||[]).push(arguments)},i.l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),

m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)

})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('set', 'userId', {{USER_ID}}); // Set the user ID using signed-in user_id.

ga('create', 'UA-76428350-1', 'auto');

ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

Nancy,

Thanks for the idea. I did try it and still received the unbalanced body tag error.

This is a small site. Maybe a dozen pages to change. I will just make the change for now on the pages individually.

Thanks

Ben,

DW CS6 is what I am using. I cannot see a "Tools" option at the top. ?

Is CS6 that much different than the current CC?

OK, I found it under "Modify".

Thanks
