nested div tags

Stephane,

Can you post the XSLT/macro that generates these divs?

Umbraco by default will not change your divs within a template at all.  It's one of it's strengths.  If it's generated in an XSLT then there are some things to be aware off.  An empty div for instance will render as <div /> which most browsers will not tolerate.

Stephane,

You haven't said where you are entering your code. Is it in a template, or in an XSLT macro? 

If it's an XSLT macro, then I suspect this is a 'feature' of the xslt processing that also strips out the closing tag of an empty div tag and add the foward slash into the opening part of the tag:

    <div class="clear"></div>

I use code like this to prevent it:

To prevent Umbraco stripping empty tag elements use CDATA like:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[

    <div class="clear"></div>

]]></xsl:text>

If this technique doesn't solve it, please say so, and someone else is sure to chip in.

If you cannot use a CDATA section (for example of you still need xslt logic inside the div)  you can also insert and xsl:comment inside the div.

<div class="clear"><xsl:comment/></div>

This will create an html tag like this

<div class="clear"><!-- --></div>

Quite ugly actually, but it works.

Or you could try changing the output method:

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

to

<xsl:output method="html" />

This will make the xsl-parser leave your div tags empty, I think.
