Internal error out of nowhere
Gah. My database was working fine, and I have had it up for a few weeks now with no problems. Then, I changed my site's color scheme today. I of course changed the html.pl file over to the new colors. All was great! The database was up, and I even modifyed and added records. Then, a few hours later, I got an internal error. I hadn't even opened the html.pl file since I got it converted *successfully* earlier in the day.

My html.pl file is attached.

Does anyone see a typo or something that I am missing (I have been staring at it for a few hours now.)

Do you have your site's color scheme and font choices in both your .cfg file and your html.pl file?

There may be a conflict??

Did you turn on debugging to see if it would display any errors? It does help to move the line:

# Display Debugging Information (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
$db_debug = 0;

to above the section:

# File and URL's

so that it will catch errors within the .cfg file.

In the text file you've attached, the <style> tags have been added in the wrong place.

Presently:

</head>
<style>
style definitions
</style>
<body>

Should be:

<style>
style definitions
</style>
</head>
<body>

Style tags don't always have to go in the head....and obviously wouldn't cause an error.

It is impossible to spot an error in a 70k file. You should check your error log or get your host to check the error log and then if you are unsure what the error means you can post it here.

Style tags do need to be contained in either: A) Head of document or B) Body of document.

http://www.w3.org/...-CSS1#basic-concepts (Check Section 1.1, Containment in HTML)

Additional online references for anyone interested in learning more on CSS.

Yep, I thought the style tag was in the body in the code above but now I look again it is between the head and body.
