Hi Chris,

I have looked in three 1.0.10 sites and all are fine (updated sites and fresh installs )

Code: Select all

			// Displays listing of Categories
			if ( ( $params->get( 'type' ) == 'category' ) && $params->get( 'other_cat' ) ) {
				HTML_contact::showCategories( $params, $categories, $catid );
			} else if ( ( $params->get( 'type' ) == 'section' ) && $params->get( 'other_cat_section' ) ) {
				HTML_contact::showCategories( $params, $categories, $catid );
			}
			?>
			</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
		</form>
		<?php

Is it possible that you have a pre-final release version of 1.0.10 or you may have edited the file previously?

This is the version info from the top of my file

Code: Select all

/**
* @version $Id: contact.html.php 4072 2006-06-20 16:47:46Z stingrey $
* @package Joomla

Downloaded version 1.0.10 again and indeed, that , as it should be.

Code: Select all

**
* @version $Id: contact.html.php 4072 2006-06-20 16:47:46Z stingrey $
* @package Joomla

However, there is still a problem with incorrect nesting of the and tags.
There are 3 or 4 instances where the and tags are OUTSIDE of an 'if' statement whilst the subsequent and , and the tags are WITHIN the 'if' statement.

I always check my site for compliance and found com_contact lacking.
For curiosity check, I looked at 'roblink' s website and the contact link and found the same error popping up when checking for valid code.
I have added the following after those 3 or 4 instances of being outside of the 'if' statement:

Code: Select all

echo "<tr><td></td></tr>";

end that solved the problem for me.

I came across this same problem today, but it is not on line 77 it is on line 420 of contact.html.php.
(This works out to be on about line 77 of the generated page)

I found the error in the Joomla_1.0.10-Stable-Full_Package.zip downloaded on July 17th. It also showed up on Fantastico installs.

There must be different versions around.

I had a few downloads of the full version 1.0.10 and also of the patched files for updating.
Don't know which one is which anymore but, yes, I did also find that error somewhere on line 420
But I can assure you, in my copy it was also line 77 and that was in a few downloaded version 1.0.10
Very interesting.
Must be a componenthat was overlooked for a checkout.

Thanks Chris, I'll check all my patch update downloads as well then. I don't really know what updates I used where anymore either as I have quite a number of installs. It's probably easier for me to just replace the file in all of them at this point.

Q&T Note; both unconfirmed and superseded. Moving to superseded.

this is still an issue with 1.0.12... bad formed table statements when checked for compliance.
