Critical fail

GLBIV · April 15th, 2013, 12:19 PM

Hey guys,

I'm working on my FR files and I've hit a glitch somewhere.

I've been working in txt format, because it's easier to change lots of stuff that way, but now I can't open my file in the editor.

I'm getting a message box that says "Expected close tag for element 'document'"

What's going on? all I've done is move a few <things> from one file to the other. How can I fix it?

When you moved those <thing> elements, did you make sure that they all stayed inside the <document> that opens the file, and the </document> that closes the file?

Did you make sure that every <thing> is closed by </thing> - it's easy to miss that last line of code in each item with the </thing> when cutting and pasting.

Good catch, I actually had an extra </thing> that was throwing it off. thanks.
