Closing br tags in HTML5

I'm working in HTML5, and don't want to declare my Doctype as XHTML. I do want my br tags formatted as <br /> without having to constantly use Replace.
Is there any way to do this?

Yes. You'll need to manually edit some XML. Open this file:
Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml
Find the tag “<documenttypedeclaration id="mm_html_5">”. Insert the tag “<dtdcontext>xhtml</dtdcontext>” with the other dtdcontext tags.

Firefox 4 displays closing CDATA tag ]] on the screen for object tag

With the recent Firefox 4 version. I am facing following problems with the website I am developing:
1. For svg objects inside html page with Firefox 4 it now displays closing CDATA tag on the screen.
It only displays ]]> on the screen.
I have object specified using
<pre><nowiki><object class="svgobj batteryGraphObj" type="image/svg+xml">
<![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
]]>......
</object></nowiki></pre>
2. When the svg is added using div tags it doesn't display on the screen if the width is more than browser width. It was working on Firefox 3.6 but have stopped working with 4. We had a overflow specified with scrolling effect on the screen if user wants to view next section.

Closing /a tag not showing up

Hi guys
I was given this site to build, and as per usual with the
repeated elements i used SSIs. I noticed the footer text (the
address etc)was showing up as a link in firefox (but it should not
be) and so went investigating. It's picking up the link from the
above text "Download Documents" because the closing </a> on
the Download Documents links simply isnt there!
The whole right hand menu is an SSI, an the text is all
present and accounted for in the SSI itself. In IE it all shows
fine, cause IE is just ignoring the missing tag, but Firefox isnt,
hence it took me half a day to even notice.
Given that it all looks prefect in the SSI i am totally
confused...I can't think of any reason why the closing tag would be
chopped off.
Here is the temporary URL...

Thanks

Andy,
Don't know if this will help, but...
I had a similar problem with a closing </p> tag being
stripped from a SSI. I
am hosting with Crystal Tech. They acknowledged the problem
but never fixed
it or explained why it was happening. Here is my workaround,
as I explained
it to Murray last December:
"It is clearly a Crystal Tech problem. There are actually 2
SSIs on that
page
and both end with "</p>" and in both cases "</p>"
is deleted/lost during the
Include. I found that by just adding a single space after
"</p>" so it now
reads "</p> " everything works and the paragraph is
properly closed. I
reported this to CT and they are looking into it."
Try adding a trailing space. It just might work.

Missing closing paragraph tags

Well this is a conundrum. The closing paragraph tag (i.e.
</p>) which is considered optional and which Dreamweaver does
not automatically insert at the end of a paragraph makes a
difference to Internet Explorer (at least version 7.0 which I
previewed the page in). Without the closing tag, IE does not add
space btw paragraphs. I created many web pages recently and
previewed everything in Firefox. I wasn't sure what the client was
talking about when they complained that I was removing spaces btw
paragraphs. I had to go back by hand and insert the missing tags.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Why would a tag that
is so essential be considered optional? Any way just make sure that
you close your paragraphs!

You should choose a doctype that's consistent with your
coding ability.
This one is fine unless you are an advanced coder.

I have confirmed your finding. I'll submit it. Wouldn't hurt

Missing closing body tag

Hello,
I'm seeing an issue that has been mentioned a couple of times in this forum, but hasn't been resolved -- at least no final resolution is posted.
The behavior is that the closing body tag is missing from rendered pages which use the ui:body tag. This does not appear to be related to tiles of jsp fragments specifically.
I am posting an identical question to the JSF forums since this is a component from the webui jar.
Thanks so much for listening and please post if you know anything about this issue and its resolution.

I am getting this too. My pages are all designed as flow-layout with embedded group panels. All my group panels have "block" set (making them divs).
I have made the following observations.
If a page is navigated to by typing the url into the browser address bar, or by clicking on a hyperlink (with no action defined) then the page is rendered without a closing body tag </body>
If a page is navigated to by clicking on a link which has an action defined, then the resultant page is rendered with a closing body tag.
In addition I have noticed that if you have group panels embedded in each other, some with block set (div), and others with block not set (span) then the closing tags sometimes do not match e.g. you may get two opening tags like <div><span> but the closing tags will be </div></div> which can cause no end of formatting issue. As a workaround I make all my group panels blocks so that this does not happen.

Help! BC-Muse : Custom Code before closing Body tag

I have a project that is ongoing am constantly updating and publishing from Muse. I also have a custom code that is inserted before the closing body tag that I can't place in Muse (Because the feature is not supported). Every time I publish in Muse I lose this code because Muse will override the page always. So I have to go the code section in BC for the page and reinsert the code. This is giving me headache and stress on my back and sight.
How can I permanently place this code before the closing body tag once without the stress mentioned earlier and without Muse re-writing the code for that specific page (I used to think Muse publish edited pages and not the entire site, even when the option to publish 'only modified pages is selected'). Please HELP!

Thanks Zak, this is the code:
<script>
$('#pdropdown').change( function() {
$('#pdetails>*:not(.hide)').toggleClass('hide');
var optionVal = $(this).val();
$('#'+optionVal+'.hide').toggleClass('hide');
</script>
I have a web app that loads product list into a dropdown list. (How I wish we had a dropdown list form in Muse that can work with BC web app or a drop down list that can be use to target a specific widget ID.) Maybe its time Muse widgets have ID so we can target them to appear by fading in, sliding in, etc.)

Code above closing body tag.

Hi,
How do I add a code in Muse that should be placed directly above the closing <body> tag?

You can insert your custom HTML through Object -> Insert HTML option, then once it populates, drag it to the bottom corner in Design mode. The code may not place exactly above the closing body tag but above "JS includes" and shouldn't really affect the functionality of your custom HTML. Can you try it out?
Thanks,
Vinayak

Non-closing PHP tags in includes?

Hi,
This post is directly targetted at David Powers, who is often here (but, of course, could interest others)...
I'm currently reading the book "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP Training From The Source" and I just came accross a strange affirmation:
on page 184, in the "Why the Next Page Doesn't Always Load" sidebar, in the third bullet you state: "If the include file contains only PHP code, remove the closing PHP tag. This is not only legitimate, it's the recommended best practice."... jaw dropping... I've never seen that...
I need more explanations... Why would it be recommended? Wouldn't it break the code (particularly PHP) since there's an opening tag but not a closing one? That means that we could have a lot of opening tags without closing tags? Why would it be different from the code that is "inside" the page, for as far as I know it, includes "include" the code into the page "before running it"? So, doesn't PHP "sees" the same thing whether the code is "embed" in the page or included via the include statement?
Lot of questions, but I need more details, 'cause I'm not sure a Google research on that topic would give me any results...
Nelson

Nate has already given you the explanation. If you want the chapter and verse, take a look at the following page in the PHP Manual: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php. It says in part:
"The closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional, and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using include() or require(), so unwanted whitespace will not occur at the end of files, and you will still be able to add headers to the response later. It is also handy if you use output buffering, and would not like to see added unwanted whitespace at the end of the parts generated by the included files."
The Zend Framework Coding Standard for PHP goes much further on the the following page: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/coding-standard.php-file-formatting.html
"For files that contain only PHP code, the closing tag ("?>") is never permitted. It is not required by PHP and omitting it prevents the accidental injection of trailing white space into the response."
The "never permitted" applies only to files being submitted to the Zend Framework.
If anything comes after the PHP code in a file, you must use the closing tag. It's only when the file ends with PHP that you can omit it.

Podcast fails validation no closing meta tag

I have been working on this and cannot figure it out. I have a podcast that passes all validation pages. Works in Feed burner and other RSS readers. Hoever when I subscribe to the podcast in itunes it is broke. When I submit a podcast it says I do not have a closing </meta> tag, but there is not meta tag in the feed. This has got to be bug in iTunes.
my feed is http://www.fairview4u.org/index.php/follow-us

Your feed includes the following tag:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.fairview4u.org</itunes:new-feed-url>
This redirects iTunes, but nothing else (which is why validators are working and the feed looks OK in a browser). This is redirecting iTunes to your web page which obviously isn't going to work. You need to remove this tag.

DOM parser Detecting Closing Element Tag

hi all,
Is it possible to detect the closing element tag for following XML code.
<seq>
<par>
<img...>
<img..>
</par>
<img ...>
</seq>
I want to detect closing </seq> & </par> elements Nodes.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
-Harshad

No, DOM parsers deal with elements and not "tags". It's much easier to do what you ask with a SAX parser. See Chapter 6 of the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.1/tutorial/doc/index.html

DW CS4 not closing input tags properly when no doctype declared

Hi,
I often write code in PHP that is going to be included, because of this, I dont use the HTML, BODY, DOCTYPE tags on the include file (usually a form) that I'm working on.
If I add input fields, they are closed with a '>' instead of a '/>'
Is there any way to correct this behavior?
thanks

When you create a new page in DW select XHTML 1.0 Transitional...then get rid of the excess code you don't want before typing in your include code.

- Code Rewriting (closing IMG tags)

Under "Code Rewriting" in the preferences, I have "fix
unclosed tags"
checked... however, everytime I open a document, DW warns me
that all my IMG
tags are unclosed.
Why isn't it closing them? I keep formatting the page but
nothing's
changing, and those popup warnings are really annoying.

I was typing waaay to fast.

Hello, please tell me if there is a possibility to disable the automatic closing of tags

The site is implemented on the engine, which connects multiple modules, and therefore almost impossible to find a missing closing tag. Forgive my English.

Can you post a link?
Try View > Page Source
You usually see red text in the page source if there is a missing close '>' or otherwise severe errors in the code.
You can also use the DOM Inspector to see if Firefox reopens a tag in every following container if you mean a closing tag like </div> or </p>

Need help in decoding javascript tag for HTML5 output.

Hello all,
I am working on a project in Adobe captivate 7 64 bit which consists of around 500 slides with most of the slides being text and image. The problem I am facing is very unusual which I guess I am the first one to experience (as per my search on google and forums). So, after I publish my project the output works fine in html (local and online) BUT when I run index.html (i.e., HTML5 output) the course does not run and screen is blank.
After spending a week on searching online and using the trail and error strategy I was able to find out that it was the URL text "F:\usrnew\purchase" placed in the the middle of the course which caused the whole damage. However the url was removed and the project was submitted.
After spending some extra time I found out that the letter "\u" which is a javascript tag was causing the problem for the HTML5 output. I don't really know much about javascripting but found out that the tag can be decoded using some programming strategy. Now this is where my knowledge comes to a standby and needs a lift from you guys.
Any ideas, help, knowledge sharing would be very helpful for me and all those who might face this issue in future.
Looking forward for your views.
Kind Regards,
Mirza

Voila! The issue is resolved.
Solution: Change the single slash "\" to a double slash "\\".
Cheers,
Mirza
