Make sure you put the entire thing in there – & amp ; – and it will
validate. (I put the spaces in to exaggerate that all three parts are
needed, and to keep the Web formatter from showing it as an apmpersand.)

Sorry to ask again done another page

and have two errors I cant budge

one I can see whats wrong but im sure its created by freeway

end tag for element “SPAN” which is not open

				<td width=412 valign=top><p class="style16" lang="en"></span></p>

and the last is to do with the switching images and a duplicate pageid I think

ID “PAGEDIV” already defined

					<p class="f-lp"><div id="PageDiv">

Im still trying to sort it myself but any pointers especially whether I can just change the name of the PageID

would be greatly appreciated

many thanks

IDs must be unique across the page they are found in. You may
certainly remove the ID, unless you need it for a scripting or styling
purpose. If you’re using this element as a template object inside of a
loop – where you are going to create more than one of the beasties,
then you must do something to either generate a unique ID or delete it.

As to your span problem, you are apparently closing tags out of order.
A span can be a direct child of a paragraph, list item, table cell,
div, and a few more. It may contain text, another span, an image, and
pretty much nothing else. In your example below, you start a paragraph
and then immediately close a span. Where was that span opened? Or does
it need to be there at all?

In EE it’s possible to define the formatting of textfields. This is important when adding textcontent to that field.

a) auto br meaning any linebreak will be transformed by the engine into </br (Note: If you intend to have a double linebreak to create more space in your text, it’s better to add
  because otherwise IE ignores the double </br)

b) none: EE will do nothing with formatting, good for images Flash etc

c) Auto XHTML Now this is interesting. EE will do things with your content, like: The purpose of the Auto XHTML option is to make your content semantically and typographically correct. And also: In addition, the Auto XHTML feature intelligently handles text containing block level elements, like

,
, etc. so that they are not wrapped in paragraph tags.
Please see the user manual for that: http://expressionengine.com/docs/general/text_formatting.html

In short, this is pure manipulation of the HTML you made in Freeway, and might give unexpected results, with unvalid output. Now If you want to use the XHTML formatting (and it indeed makes sense to do so) please use the Remove P tag action, or put your EE tag inside a Crowbar. The final result is a clean code, without the classes Freeway puts in the HTML.

I’m very sorry, half of my text disappeared.

Thanks guys
I changed the PageDiv to PageDiv2 that seemed to do the trick.
The span was an error created by Freeway. All i had was and insert html tag with this in {if comment}, then some text and to finish of another insert html closing the tag {/if} I dont think freeway likes you to do that.
Atelier thank you for your response I tried t get it but I just dont where is the Auto XHTML in EE is is when you create a custom field? If it is when I do that it creates lots of errors.

many thanks

This is one of the three formatting options for every textfield. You’ll see this when you create/alter your custom fields, and also in the CP when adding content. You can (very handy) change the format per entree. As said, it changes quite a lot on the page, you must to know what you do.

Are you doing this with markup item object inline in the text? Or
some other way?

For best and more customized results you could use Crowbar. That’s what I use in all my EE sites over the HTML markup item.
