Coding error removal tutorial by John aka Mb
In some cases you may find that your forum or website has errors in it.
some errors only appear in certain browsers.
1 > To deal with such error you first if you can save the page to a folder of your choice make sure it saves everything except images.
2> Open the file you saved in notepad and also open it up in the browser thats having the problem.
3> Goto your headers and footers and remove everything from your header first make sure you put it in another file so its not permentatly gone. Then save and refresh.
4> If the error is gone it means that one of the codes in the headers you removed is causing the problem. If the error is still there the problem is in your footers. if the problem is in your footers re-do number 3 (Above) except this time with your footers if the problem is gone continue to number 5.
5> This means that you have removed the problem at the time being. Add each individual code from an <Opening Tag> to a </closing tag> do not forget the closing as this can make things worse. Close and Refresh
6> if the error is still not there then this code can stay. now add the next code. and continue until you find the one causing the problem.
Keep doing the above until you find the errors.
NOTE: this will not always work as sometime there are errors in both the header and the footer now you can do this whole thing with both the headers and footers or you can get a professional to find the error codes for you.
