document.write('<layer bgColor="white" style="border:1px solid black;font-size:12px;">'+text+'</layer>') ----------------------------- ERROR REPORTED BY VALIDATOR ----------------------------- 1. Error Line 85, Column 124: end tag for element "LAYER" which is not open. lack;font-size:12px;">'+text+'</layer>') ✉ The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem. If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry. ------------------------------ FULL HTML SENT TO DIRECT INPUT ------------------------------ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd'> <html> <head> <title>Gmail</title> <meta name='generator' content='RTMC WebServer v3.0.25.0 BETA'> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'> <meta http-equiv='Cache-Control' content='no-cache'> <meta http-equiv='Cache-Control' content='no-store'> <meta http-equiv='Cache-Control' content='must-revalidate'> <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'> <meta http-equiv='expires' content='-1'> <script type='text/javascript'> <!-- update_rate = 5; //seconds time_until_update = 5; preloaded_image = new Image(); image_loaded = false; function RTMCInit() { ImageUpdate(); time_until_update = update_rate; setInterval('RTMCUpdate();', 1000); } function RTMCUpdate() { time_until_update--; if(time_until_update < 0) { if(image_loaded) { ImageUpdate(); time_until_update = update_rate; image_loaded = false; } } else { window.status = 'Screen Refresh in ' + time_until_update + ' seconds'; } } function OnImagePreloadComplete() { document.rtmc_image.src = preloaded_image.src; preloaded_image = null; preloaded_image = new Image(); image_loaded = true; } function OnImageError() { image_loaded = false; window.location.reload(true); } function ImageUpdate() { var cur_time = new Date(); preloaded_image.onload = OnImagePreloadComplete; preloaded_image.onerror = OnImageError; preloaded_image.src = 'command=Image&screen=Gmail&session_id=fdfa84f409cc4cea394e1c9b229de980e87cd4664e6f5195&image_id=' + cur_time.getTime(); } function RTMCDraw() { document.write("<img name='rtmc_image' src='command=Image&screen=Gmail' border='0' usemap='#imagemap'>"); } function showtip(current,e,text){ if(document.all||document.getElementById){ thetitle=text.split('<br>') if(thetitle.length>1){ thetitles='' for (i=0;i<thetitle.length;i++) thetitles+=thetitle[i] current.title=thetitles } else current.title=text } else if (document.layers){ document.tooltip.document.write('<layer bgColor="white" style="border:1px solid black;font-size:12px;">'+text+'</layer>') document.tooltip.document.close() document.tooltip.left=e.pageX+5 document.tooltip.top=e.pageY+5 document.tooltip.visibility="show" } } function hidetip(){ if (document.layers) document.tooltip.visibility="hidden" } // --> </script> <STYLE type='text/css'> #nav { background: #FFFFFF; padding: 5px 10px 1px; margin: 0; bottom-margin: 3; list-style: none; font: bold 0.8em Verdana, sans-serif; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; } #nav li { display: inline; } #nav li a{ padding: 2px 10px 1px; text-decoration: none; background: #E0DFE3; border: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom-color: #E0DFE3; -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 0 0; } #nav li a.current_tab {background: #FFFFFF } } a:link { text-decoration:none; color:blue; } a:visited { text-decoration:none; color:blue; } a:hover { text-decoration:none; color:red; } a.current_tab:hover { color: #000000 } a:active { text-decoration:none; color:black; } </STYLE> </head> <body onload='RTMCInit()'> <div id="tooltip" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden"></div> <ul id='nav'> <li><a class='current_tab' >Gmail</a></li> <li><a href='command=RTMC&screen=Screen&session_id=fdfa84f409cc4cea394e1c9b229de980e87cd4664e6f5195'>Screen</a></li> <li><a href='command=RTMC&screen=Screen1&session_id=fdfa84f409cc4cea394e1c9b229de980e87cd4664e6f5195'>Screen1</a></li> <li><a href='command=ListAllTables&session_id=fdfa84f409cc4cea394e1c9b229de980e87cd4664e6f5195'>Data Browser</a></li> <li><a href='command=Status&session_id=fdfa84f409cc4cea394e1c9b229de980e87cd4664e6f5195'>Network Status</a></li> </ul> <script type='text/javascript'> <!-- RTMCDraw(); //--> </script> <map name='imagemap'> <area shape='rect' coords='18,58,303,370' href='http://www.campbellsci.com' onMouseover="showtip(this,event,'Jump to Campbellsci')" onMouseout="hidetip()" alt=""> </map> </body> </html>
Like the validator's error message (which you copy-pasted into this bug) says: > If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should > probably read this FAQ entry. The "FAQ entry" link points to http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-javascript which again points to http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script which describes what's wrong with the HTML you posted.
