FIBO tutorial

natgross Apr 21, 2004 6:39 PM

Hi;
Can someone please explain why Eclipse is reporting a fatal error for the first line in the index.html file per page 24 on the tutorial:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

And the error is:
Fatal error - White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

thanks
-nat

This is still an issue when working the tutorial.

I am using Eclipse 3.0.1 and JBoss-IDE 1.4.0 on OS X 10.3.8 with Java 1.4.2

Thanks,
Wiley

There has to be a blank line between the first two lines. In the tutorial it is not obvious.

If I try (just as mentioned in the tutorial)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
I get the error "White spaces are required between publicId and systemId"

I looked at the docs on w3.org and if I try
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
it's erroring out with "The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '>'

What am I missing?

According to http://de.selfhtml.org/html/allgemein/grundgeruest.htm#dokumenttyp (not available in English), both of your variants are valid. And, in fact, the second one works for me (in Eclipse 3.0.2 with JBoss IDE 1.4.1e30).

For the first one, I get the same error as you. I think this should be fixed soon, especially since it occurs in the tutorial.

What disturbs me is that Eclipse sleeps for a minute or so whenever I save the html file.

I think I have the solution to your problems. I had to make the file be xhtml compliant. Here is the new code for index.html: (hope this helps)

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Fibonacci Application

<h1>Fibonacci Form</h1>
