Hi,

DNN 4.09.01 News module 04.00.01

I know nothing significant about XSL.  Using trial and error I made a couple of tiny mods to the supplied XSL..  I wanted an additional line break after each item.

I added a break (see below) and I get the visual appearance I want in both IE and FF. But - this part of the page now fails w3c validation telling me "end tag for "br" omitted".

Why can't I get the closed break tag in though the XSL?  View the site at www.dynamisys.co.uk - the RSS is on the bottom rhs - "Latest News" feel free to submit the page to http://validator.w3.org if you want to see the full output (yes I know there are other validation errors.)

Snip from XSL... - my addition is line 27.
   24      <xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

   25     </p>

   26    </xsl:if>

   27     <br />

   28   </xsl:for-each>

   29  </xsl:template>

   30 </xsl:stylesheet>

Best wishes,

There should be no embedded space in the <br/> tag.  Looks like you've got one in there.

I do have a space in there.  Removing it makes no difference.  I also tried

   26     <br></br>

In all three cases (space/no space, self closing, manually closing) the validator reports this error...

"...end tag for "br" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified ..."

and quotes this as the offending text...

"…hes e-disclosure service</a></p><br><p class="DNN_News_ItemLink"><a href="htt"

A View Source on the page shows that the transform is not emiting a closed tag.

It processes the line.  If I change it to

   26 aa<br/>zz

Then I see output with the aa and the zz on separate lines.

mm I dont see why that would not work  but here is something I use if i have to input start and end tags seperately ( which later will be closed but what xsl doenst like because it does not see the start end tag correctly

 

first define your tag

<xsl:param name="mybreak"><![CDATA[<br/>]]></xsl:param>

then use it

<xsl:value-of select="$mybreak" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Hi Guys,

Thanks to both of you.

I just implemented Armand's technique and it's working.  Thanks again.
