I am getting this message when I try to validate my xml document: 13:2 The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed. Every time when I try to fix line 13, I get the same error message.

I tried to write the code just like that and this and and I still get an error message. :confused:

User 12697865

I tried that but it did not work and I tried <patient_employment> and I tried <patientemployment> and I still got an error.

OriginalGriff

And did you take a good look at the line below that as well?

User 12697865

Yes I did. But I still did not find any solutions to the error.

OriginalGriff

And what did you see? I'll give you a clue:

        <employer <information>Orlando Home Team</employer>

What is that? Does it look well formed to you?

User 12697865

no, that does not look correct. This is how I wrote the code <employerinformation>Orlando Home Team></employerinfomation>

OriginalGriff

And that doesn't look right either...

To this point I do not know what I am doing wrong. could you just please point out what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. I have been working on this for three days and I still could not figure it out. :(

Thank you so much, I will try it and see if it will work.

User 12697865

I tried it, but it did not validate it. :(

OriginalGriff
