Please keep that on the list.

The problem is that you have crap like that: </TR></TD></TABLE> in that code. You can get help from the Eclipse html formatter (don't know whether that would even try to format that ...) or other tools like BBEdit.

And you should REALLY clean up your HTML. That stuff is a horrible relict and a good reminder why WebObjects Builder sucked.

No, only the WO 5.4 inline tag parser does. What he probably sees are
errors from the HTML
validation. These should get fixed nevertheless. Things like this:
<wo:if condition="$foo"><tr></wo:if>
 ...
<wo:if condition="$foo"></tr></wo:if>
(Inline tags for better understanding) might work with the old-style
parser but will never work with inline bindings, either WOOgnl or WO
itself. It's just just bad style to write things like that. I fear,
Mersida meant that by "nested tags". Or, even worse, stuff like that:
<div class = "<webobject name=ClassString />">
which are even uglier and should be forbidden by international law ...
And it's really not that hard to fix. Even for 115 error messages -
some of them might be fixed by just fixing ONE tag ...
