1 html error

i have one error - could someone please tell me how to sort it - http://www.recipebite.co.uk thank you

Error Line 127 column 93: document type does not allow element "link" here.
...ss" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).

Yup, it should be in between the <head> </head> tags at the top of the page.

should also have a space before the backslash...
="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

easyier said than done -

the html on the index page looks like this http://www.webforumz.com/free-web-si...cipebite-_.htm ( bottom of the page )

I've had a look at the code and don't see what your problem is.

Do exactly what Craig told you to do.

A link to a style sheet has to go in the <head> tags for it to work.

i cant put in whats not there - if you look, in the first code this

Code: Select all

<link href="components/com_rapidrecipe/rapidrecipe.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

is not on the index page that i can edit - its only in the online page after joomla has added in all the extra 'bits and bobs' it needs

its not a case of me not understanding what was said - it was a case of - the code looks different offline to what it does online

The only problem that I see is that you need a "space" between " and />

et" type="text/css"/>
et" type="text/css" /> <---like this.

The tag is inside the head. Everything is fine there.

the problem is that the output is different to the 'input'

what i mean to say is - i now know whats wrong and what needs to be adjusted, i just dont know how i can adjust it because the input is totally different

I am not a joomla fan, but I would assume that based on what I do know about it, you should be able to find something on how to modify joomla's output. As unhelpful as this reply is.
