"Unfinished Element" Error

spatel6549 · 03-04-2011, 01:52 PM

Hi, I'm new here and was trying to figure out how to fix this error. Here is the code.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="pdftohtml 0.36" name="generator" />
<meta content="" name="author" />
<meta content="2011-03-04T10:08:19+00:00" name="date" />
<link href="../Styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<title></title>

<style type="text/css">
@page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; }

p.sgc-2 {font-style: italic; font-weight: bold}
p.sgc-1 {font-weight: bold}
</style>
</head>

Can someone help me out here? Would very much appreciate it.

I think this may be it

Code:

<meta content="authornamehere" name="author" />

Welcome to MobileRead, spatel6549.

In your code, above, you have:

<meta content="" name="author" />

TheDucks is indicating that you need to add the actual author name in the CONTENT attribute.

Also - it would be helpful if you provided the full text of the error message you received - it usually identifies the filename and line number where the error occurs, which can be really helpful in pinning down exactly where and what the problem is.
