"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Helen Provart

Hi,

 

I am trying to prepare a project using some html files. When the project is preparing I get an error message for all the files saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

The whole error message is below.

Can anyone provide some assistance on what I can do as at the moment I cannot prepare this project.

Thanks in advance

    Hi ,

    Between other things I have been looking. The file does look to be invalid XHTML and I have been working through the errors. So far I made these changes and am getting further, but still can't process the file:

    - Capitalised the DOCTYPE declaration as this is required for xhtml
    - Closed some unclosed elements, also required for xhtml
    - Put the script element contents inside CDATA where I thought it would be appropriate and so it stopped the entity errors

    All of these issues can be found in any validation tool, it's not just Studio. So at the moment I'm inclined to think the files are just invalid. But I wanted to get to the bottom of them so I could actually process them successfully. I may never do!!

    Have you spoken to your client about the files?
