XHTML Tags Automatically Closed
« on: December 17, 2008, 09:04:26 PM »
Hi All,

I am trying to apply our site's default style to a NetTalk application and have run into a hurdle. I am including a "header" and a "footer" file in the PageHeaderTag and PageFooterTag's respective Web Borders (please let me know if there is a more elegant way to do this).

The problem I have though is that I want to span a DIV element across the form content, but it is always being closed before presentation.

For example:

Header file:

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
 <!-- Header Content -->
</div>

Footer file:

<div id="footer">
  <!-- Footer Content -->
</div>
</div>

Final output:

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
 <!-- Header Content -->
</div>
</div>

<div id="footer">
  <!-- Footer Content -->
</div>
</div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Adam

Hi Adam,

I think you'll need to post a small example, If you are adding your own open-div then it certainly wouldn't "automatically" close it for you.

Hi Bruce,

In my WebServer procedure I have the NetTalk extension configured to use '<!-- Net:PageHeaderTag -->' as the "Generic Page Header Tag" and '<!-- Net:PageFooterTag -->' as the "Generic Page Footer Tag".

My PageHeaderTag procedure's NetTalk Web Border Extension then has the following XHTML in it:

Code: [Select]
<!-- Net:f:custom/template/PageHeader.html -->
Besides the Web Border Extension, there is only a Web Menu Extension and WinEvent Alert Windows Messages extension included in the PageHeaderTag.

The contents of PageHeader.html:

Code: [Select]
<div class="wrap">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo-graphic">
<h1><!-- SNIP --></h2>
</div>
</div>
<div id="mbar">
<div id="navmenu"><!-- SNIP --></div>
</div>
<div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>
(Please note, I have tried both including a file and putting it directly into the XHTML text area in the extension, however I am using the include because it is easier to maintain.)

My PageFooterTag procedure's NetTalk Web Border Extension then has the following XHTML in it:

Code: [Select]
<!-- Net:f:custom/template/PageFooter.html -->
The contents of PageFooter.html:

Code: [Select]
<div id="footer">
<div class="ftr-right">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="ftr-left">&nbsp;</div>
<p><!-- SNIP --></p>
</div>
</div>
Finally, when I Make and Run my application and access it using Firefox or Internet Explorer, the output looks like this (The </div> that shouldn't be there in just above the <!-- NetTalk Web Menu Extension --> comment):

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html>
<head>
<!-- SNIP -->
</head>
<body class="PageBody" onload="javascript:bodyOnLoad();" >
<div id="oPageHeaderTag2" class="">
<div class="wrap">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo-graphic">
<h1<!-- SNIP --></h1>
</div>
</div>
<div id="mbar">
<div id="navmenu"><!-- SNIP --></div>
</div>
<div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>

</div>

<!-- NetTalk Web Menu Extension -->
<!-- Other Rendered Content -->

  <div id="oPageFooterTag2" class="headingouter">
<div id="footer">
<div class="ftr-right">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="ftr-left">&nbsp;</div>
<p><!-- SNIP --></p>

</div>
</div>
</div>


<script>bodyOnLoad();</script>
</body>
</html>
If you need some more specific informationm, let me know.

Hi Adam,

I appreciate the detailed info, but can't you rather just send me a small app example? It takes time to re-create an app from the description below, and there's no guarantee I'll do it exactly the way you did. If I then _don't_ get the same effect as you, then I'm left wondering if the bug is fixed, or I've done it differently...

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Here is an example of the problem based on the Nettalk Web Server example 1 application.

Hi John / Adam,

In this example you are putting your header, and footer code inside the NetTalk web border extension.

This is already wrapping the header in 2 divs - if you browse to a page, and then right-click source, you'll see..

  <div id="oPageHeaderTag2" class="headingouter">
    <div id="iPageHeaderTag2" class="headinginner">
<div id="wrap">
<div id="header">
<h1>Example App Header</h1>

</div>
    </div>
  </div>


since your code contains an unmatched <div> there's gonna be a problem.

So I guess you should probably not use the "web border" extension, but rather move your html to the plain xHtml tab.

Cheers
Bruce
