In my .jspx files, I've got numerous "No start tag" errors. I reduced one of these files to a minimum, and got the following: <jsp:root version="2.0"> <p> </p> </jsp:root> The error appears at line 3 (</p>). I am using Eclipse 3.2 / WTP 1.5 final (Callisto install)
Happens for me too, but: Windows 2000 Server running in VMWare Eclipse 3.2.1 build M20060921-0945 Callisto install I have noticed that if I edit the file by making a trivial change, ie add whitespace, then save the file, the JSP syntax checker then finds the JSP to be correct. If I then do a Project->Clean so that it builds everything automatically, the "error" appears.
I get it too on Windows XP, Eclipse 3.2.1 build M20060921-0945, WST 1.5 Usually no start tag (<form>)
Another example: -- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <body> <p> <div></div> </p> </body> </html> -- This is a violation of the DTD, so while there is an error, the message ("No start tag" on the </p>) is incorrect.
(In reply to comment #2) > I get it too on Windows XP, Eclipse 3.2.1 build M20060921-0945, WST 1.5 > Usually no start tag (<form>) > It appears in my case that at least some (perhaps all) of these errors were caused by bad jsp. For example no end slash on input tags e.g. <input type="text" name="textbox" >, or bad nesting ex <form> <table> <table> </table> </form> </table> so perhaps the error reporting could be improved in this case.
The original issue with this bug has been resolved. And the secondary issue now has a better error message "Invalid location of tag (div)."
Resolved by Bug 283840.
