Broken comments page

    I have had the live preview function installed for about a month with no problem.

    A week ago I also installed the Nicer Archives plugin. At the time both “preview” and the new archives were ok in both Firebird and IE6.

    I have since noticed in IE6 the comment page is broken. Within the comment box is displayed code from the wp-comments.php page and alot of code from narchives.php. I have deleted the narchive.php page but it didn’t clear the problem.

    Obviously one of the two pages is corrupted but when viewing the code it remains the same, plus the plugin mod, as the original install.

    Odd……

    The Validator says this:
    Line 182, column 98: unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES
    ...abindex="4"onkeyup="ReloadTextDiv();"</textarea>

    Yet in both IE and FF, I see this code:
    <textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="70" rows="8" tabindex="4"onkeyup="ReloadTextDiv();"></textarea>
    </p>

    Note the closing > after ReloadTextDiv

    ————-

    The code that is displaying in the textarea window clearly suggests that there is a problem immediately before the </p> tag listed just above.

    I would have a good look at the code there and maybe remove all indentation, and place tags on their own lines – then hit the validator again. (It shows a few more errors but that’s not the point here – it’s also pointing at our target).

    That was it, the missing closing tag. Thanks!

    The question remains how did the tag disappear into thin air when I have made no changes to that section of code.

    Oh well it’s repaired that is all that counts. In the mean time I have to find the time to fix the rest of the invalid code on that page
