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

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

ACE-4710 : XML Syntax Error du to a missing closing tag

Hi,
We use XML over HTTPS to gather connections information from a management station. We can successfully read the number of connections per real server (rserver), but the ACE returns a buggy XML code when we tray to get the number of connections through the VIP (by asking the service-policy). The problem is a missing closing tag in the returned code. The missing tag is </sp_class_map>.
We have the latest ACE software version A3(2.2) installed. Note that the same request on a ACE Service Module does not presents this bug. I took a look in the bug toolkit but did not found the exact match.
Does somebody already had this problem ? it is anoying as we cannot represent the number of connections for a specific vip in the NMS.
I attach the returned XML code, in which I highligted the tad that does not have its closing counterpart.
Thank you for any info before I open a TAC case
Yves

Thank you Gilles,
It seams that this bug is only visible inernally : "Information contained within bug ID CSCsz52234 is only available to Cisco employees".
I saved the bug to be informed on its status. Do you thing I should open a TAC case anyway ?

Missing body tag from my code?

Hi, my server (Domain Express / Parallels) won't let me edit my live website (in WYSIWYG mode) because it can't find the <body> tag. It all works perfectly in the site I created in iWeb - www.franhayterconsulting.co.uk , but not working at all in the one I have used Dreamweaver for - www.kateharrisconsulting.co.uk . Is there a genius out there that can help spot what I've done differently?
As a newbie, iWeb and Dreamweaver are so helpful for simple sites - but unfortunately the first sign of a problem and I'm clueless!! Thank you so much for any advice, much appreciated indeed.

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

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.

How can I control the javascript tolerance of missing html element tags in FF 4.0?

I have a javascript routine that tries to get a form hidden input value using getElementById(id).value. The line of html code is:
<input id='id' type='hidden' value='value'
Note the missing closing tag ">". The line is terminated by a crlf.
This code worked in FF3.xx but fails in FF4.0bx. The javascript function fails and returns false when it can not find id='id' using getElementById(id).value.

Some aspects of JavaScript may be sensitive to the DOCTYPE declaration, but otherwise, if Firefox does not place the element into the DOM, then you won't be able to access it in a script.

Then again


both look like they're out of place to me.
Anyway:
If that really is all of the code from your page, then you're missing at least the following:
DOCTYPE
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title Goes Here</title>
</head>
</body>
</html>
Add the DOCTYPE by selecting File->Convert->HTML 4.01 Strict (Dreamweaver->Convert->... if on a Mac) from the menus.
In Code View, just underneath the newly added DOCTYPE code, add:
<html>
<head>
<title>Whatever you want</title>
Now, just above your <body> tag, add:
</head>
And at the very bottom of the page, add:
</body>
</html>
Sidenote: Since you're already defining the body's background color with CSS, you can change this:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
to this:
<body>

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>

Missing method body or declare abstract error

Hi!
I have been working on this simple Java 1.3.1 program for three days now and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. If anyone has done the "Building an Application" tutorial in the New to Java Programming Center, you might recognize the code. I am trying to set up a frame with panels first using the BorderLayout and then the FlowLayout within each section of the BorderLayout. It will have textfields and checkboxes. I am working on the code to retrieve the user input from the text boxes and also to determine which checkbox the user has checked. Here is my code: (ignore my irrelivent comments!)
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Color.*;

//Header Comment for a Routine/Method
//This method gathers the input text supplied by the user from five text fields on the Current
//Purchase tab of the tabbed pane of the MPGLog.java program. The way it gathers the text
//depends on the current processing state, which it retrieves on its own. It saves the text to
//a text file called textinput.txt.
public class CollectTextInput extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{ // Begin class
     //Declare all the objects needed first.
     // These are the text fields

I have looked this error up in three different places but the solutions do not apply to what I am trying to accomplish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Geesh! If I had a hammer I would be hitting myself over the head with it right now!!! What an obviously DUMB newbie mistake!!!
Thanks so much for not making me feel stupid! :-)

URL missing from Media tag

I am trying to stream a live video from Adobe Media Server. I am sending a video to the server from Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2. On Adobe Media Server I open the sample video player (videoplayer.html) in a browser. In the STREAM URL field I put: http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/ liveevent.f4m. When I click the PLAY STREAM button I get the error message: URL missing from Media tag. What do I need to do?

What is the stream name that you are publishing from FMLE? If it's "livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent" then the url should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m .

Error message "missing method body, or declare abstract"

This is my test driver. Does anyone know why it is not working?
public class TestInfo
   public static void main(String args[])
          Info results = new Info();
          printInfo();
     public static String printInfo();
          System.out.println(" The Diameter is: " + results.diam
          + " The Circumference is: " + results.circum
          + " The Area is: " + results.area);
}The error message I get is: missing method body, or declare abstract
The print block has to be a separate method. The print block works when I put it in main. When it is in a separate method and I call it in main it doesn't work

You have an extraneous semi-colon after printInfo. This tells the compiler that that's all there is for that method, which only makes sense if it's an abstract method. It sees the block after the semicolon, but it thinks it's an initializer. So it wants you to either declare it abstract, or give it a method body.
Just remove that semicolon and you're fine.
