    XHTML: browser rendering parse tree instead. Why?

    Hello,

    When I save the following file with the .xhtml or .xml extension I get
    the XML parse tree and the following message instead of the actual
    document.

    This XML file does not appear to have any style information
    associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

    I wonder if anyone could explain the above message. Even when I place
    <style>
    information in the <head> element I still get the same message.

    Thanks,

    Neil

      Aha! A missing or incorrectly written namespace can cause such a serious
      error (altough the error message was useless). The XML Namespace should
      have been:

      <html xmlns="http//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

      That fixes it.

      Regards,

      Neil
