Why is it underlining all my closed tags? - 3/2/2007 10:15:34   
I am creating a page using XHTML 1.0 Strict. My image tags and meta-tags are closed accordingly and the page validates fine but EW has underlined all such lines in red and informs me that:

quote:

"this element is not allowed to be closed in the current schema etc. remove closing slash"


Why? Is this a bug - am I missing something - can someone make it stop please!:)

Can you post a snippet of code it is doing this with?

Take care,

Brian

I think it's that line at the top <xml

get rid of it.

I get some odd errors on my pages as well but it's because I'm using php includes so it thinks I have tags missing.

Yep, that did it Jaybee. That line of code was copied from the W3C as part of a strict xhtml template. Seems fine without though and no more squiggly red underlining!
