I have a web page that might or might not have an error in it close
to the top. It's based on a page that does not have any problems,
with a few static text changes. I think that I have added something
that I cannot see that is causing the page to break in the special
server it has to run on. I have tried using tools, like the debugging
tools in Chrome and Firebug and cannot see anything wrong, but I'm
thinking thtat there must be something wrong. I used the w3c
validator and that gave me over 3500 errors. It complains about all
my JavaScript, among other things. Plus, I have a special set of tags
that are interpreted by the server this has to run on. I need another
way to find the problem. If I try to display my page simply as a
file, in say, FF, it comes up fine. The program that needs to read
the page, however, seems unable to handle the page even though it says
it imported and saved it. Any suggestion for other tools? I can't
give you a URL. It would be in the middle of an application and you'd
have to create a user account to get to it.
If I look at the page source, I see a few lines of HEAD and body
start and end tag. That suggests to me that the tool I'm using is
punting, and not trying to show my page at all. I did see an error I
made before because of where my cursor was, but I fixed that. I don't
know how to find what's amiss in this:
