some problems

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm just learning the basics about Css programming. It's all very interesting but I'm affraid I'm a bit stuck.
Some help would be appreciated...

First I have the "element a is not allowed for content model...."

<blockquote class="calibre5">
<a class="calibre6" href="../Text/MSF1_split_002.html#filepos496759">chapter one</a>
</blockquote>

when I replace the "a" with p,h1,h2,div,...., I get following error message:

attribute href is not declared for element 'p' (or one of the other options)



Another one: "no character data is allowed by content model"

<em class="calibre14">Well I don’t want a triumph in the car</em><br class="calibre1" />

I don't get this one either, because ithere are identical lines above and below this one, with only a different text content, but they get no error message.

thanks!

The <a> must be in a paragraph if I recall correctly. The correct usage would be according to XHTML rules:
Code:
<blockquote class="calibre5">
<p>
<a class="calibre6" href="../Text/MSF1_split_002.html#filepos496759">chapter one</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
For the second one I think the culprit is <br class="calibre1" /> Replace it by <br />. That being said, I also am very suspicious about the class identifier of <em>. That does not make much sense to me...

And another one while we are at it... It's about an NCX file.

</navLabel>
<content src="Text/chapter052.html"/></navPoint>
</navPoint>
</navMap>
</ncx>

I keep getting the message: expected end of tag: "navlabel", but if I add </navlabel> anywhere, I just keep on getting "expected end of tag" error messages.

yeah, so far the <em> makes NO sense for me at all :-)

Thanks a lot for your help though!!!
It's maybe a stupid question, but the file has a lot of the "element a is not allowed"-errors. Is it possible to auto-change this somewhere for the lot, or does one have to correct them one by one?

Don't mess with the NCX file unless you know what you are doing. Regenerate it by pushing the 'create TOC by headers' (or something like that). It is the button in the right bottom.

I dont have that screen on the right, but I assume it's the same as: "tools"> "table of contents">"generate table of contents" (ctr +t)

Yup. On the right the TOC should be visible. At least it is by default.

text content, but they get no error message.
The attribute "href" is normally only in the "a" element and doesn't go with p,h1,div.

I have found a good resource is the W3School's reference site. It gives a really good explanation of HTML and CSS with all the different options as well as the ability to "try it yourself" to see what happens. They also have a pretty good tutorial for giving a basic understanding of all the jargon. I reference it all the time!

You can find the tutorials here:http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

the HTML references here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_link_href.asp

And the CSS references here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/default.asp

I hope that helps!

Cheers!

I keep getting the message: expected end of tag: "navlabel", but if I add </navlabel> anywhere, I just keep on getting "expected end of tag" error messages.
Probably need to see more context around these lines. For one thing, there are two </navPoint> tags in a row, implying nested navPoints, but where's the rest of the code (above what you quoted)?

Possibly the real error occurred way above the snippet you qouted. Parsers generally don't flag an error's location until they reach the point where they realize there must have been an error (in this case, it reached the end of the file, and realized it had an unmatched </navLabel> tag, or something.)

I realize the above paragraph is clear as mud, but my point is that often the error is not where the parser says it is.

Let Sigil generate the toc.ncx, and all should be well.

I'm doing NOTHING in the TOC anymore without trying the magic button first!
