blank TOC page - attribute 'link' not declared for element 'body'

[wyatt650]

I have generated an .epub file with Sigil, including TOC and chapter links that work perfectly.
But the FlightCrew Validater shows errors on the TOC section for all of the chapters:
attribute 'link' not declared for element 'body'
attribute 'vlink' not declared for element 'body'
When I generate a .mobi file with Kindle Previewer, jumping from TOC to a chapter displays correctly. The TOC and NAV controls on the navigation bar also work correctly.
But jumping from a chapter back to TOC displays a blank page. If I Page Previous or Page Next, the TOC page then displays correctly.

There is a wrong definition in your body tag.

The link and vlink stuff has nothing to do with with your blank page problems. Get rid if the unnecessary attributes from the body tag and the error will go away.

The link taking you to a blank page is unrelated to the attribute errors (and really unrelated to Sigil). Mobi is very picky about where the anchor you're linking to is placed. The best practice is to not link to anchors (or ids) at all. Make your toc an entirely separate (x)html page and link directly to it (no url fragments). Linking to the ids of headings will get you into trouble with mobi every time.

If you must link to somewhere in the middle of an html page, link to an anchor tag

<a id='xx' />

placed before any block elements (especially any styled block elements).

Thanks DiapDealer!
Yes, the problem was that I had set up a toc anchor on the line "Table of Contents" on the TOC page.
When I removed that anchor, and linked each Chapter title line back to the TOC page .htm, everything worked correctly in mobi.

Good deal.
