Can anyone explain this JSP validation warning? [message #546633]

Helios JEE package.
Can anyone explain why the following JSP would generate warnings:

<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/includes/taglibs.jsp"%>
<head>
	<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="header">
		<h1>Hello</h1>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

The warnings are "Invald location of tag (head)" and "Invalid location of tag (body)." This is NOT a WTP project, just a plain Java project.

The odd thing is that I have several other projects with the same basic structure that don't generate warnings for similar JSPs. In fact the problematic project is a copy/paste of another that has no such warnings, even when I re-validate its JSPs.

Hi,

it seems you miss the "page" directive and the HTML header:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" ..%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
....

Or are they contained in the include file?

Best regards

Wolfgang

I feel pretty dumb for overlooking it, but the problem was simply a missing <html> opening tag. The closing tag is there, but I somehow dropped the opening tag at some point.
