VF Error Message while saving VFpage
I'm trying to create a VF Site Page and keep getting the same message even after correcting/adding closing tag.
"Error - The element type "apex:page" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</apex:page>" at line 70"
Now I added the closing tage (several times, several different ways) but still the error message will not let
me save my page. It is as if VF is not seeing my corrections????
I am totally frustrated, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Amanda
You likely have something mismatched between the page begin tag and thepage end tag. Probably an extraneous end tag. Probably at line 70.
Hi Amanda,
I know its really frustrating when this errors happen. Obvioustly you missed to close some tag, not necessarily the page.
Can you please paste your page structure so I can help you?
Please provide more details.

If you are not using Force.com IDE yet you can download it here:

Thanks for the reply - below is my page code - Obviously the content is just filler for now, I simply
want to get the page structure complete and saved in VF.
Thanks again
Amanda

Hi Mandy,
First thing I see in your page is that you close </html> but never opened it.
I don't see anything else wrong in the page, I can save it with Force.com IDE.
Please let me know if you can't resolve it.
Bruno
in addition to the </html> with no matching <html> there appear to be 7 <div>s and only 6 </div>s .
Exactly,
<div id="container"> in not closed. You need to close it before </body>
That seemed to work - thank you both, I was going crazy. You would think the error message
would be more specific, because I kept looking at the apex closing page tag and saw it listed
and just did not see any other missing tags - I guess I was staring at it for too long.
Thanks again!!!
Not really familiar with the IDE, but will check it out.
