Supid Error

So... I have the following HTML file:

<

center>

</div>

<tr>

</td>

<td>

</td>

<td>

</td>

<td>

<a class="menubtn" href="#"> events </a>

</td>

</td>

<td>

<a class="menubtn" href="#">charity</a>

</td>

<td>

<a class="menubtn" href="#">media</a>

</td>

<td>

<a class="menubtn" href="#">sponsors</a>

</td>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

<br />

<tr>

[CONTENTPANE:1]

</td>

<br />

[CONTENTPANE:2]

<br />

[CONTENTPANE:3]

<br />

<table>

<tr>

<td>

[CONTENTPANE:4]

</td>

<td>

[CONTENTPANE:5]

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</center>

</span>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

site design by

<a href="http://www.echdesigns.com"><span style="color: #0099CC;">ech</span>designs</a></div>

</div>

<br />

[USER] | [LOGIN]

<br />

[MENU]

</

center>

and I get the following error:

An error has occurred.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. ). ---> System.Web.HttpException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. ). at System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.UserControl.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl(Control control, Int32 index) at System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) at DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Page.OnInit(EventArgs e) at DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

DNN creates the dang ASPX file with the <%= SkinPath %> in it... but then complains about it...

This is the first Skin I have tried to create, and I have followed the book and the guide about skinning, and also searched that error. I dont see that I have any blocks out of place...

Sincerely,

Very Frustrated Corey

Re: Supid Error

I guess "Supid Error "is a joke ;-)

could you post the resulting ascx file's code?
