How to find the unclosed div tag [closed]

Question

A unclosed div problem almost make me crazy. It is very difficult to track especially when the page is long and complex.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I made an online tool called Unclosed Tag Finder which will do what you need.

Paste in your HTML, and it will give you output like "Closing tag on line 188 does not match open tag on line 62."

Update: The new location of the Unclosed Tag Finder is https://jonaquino.blogspot.com/2013/05/unclosed-tag-finder.html

Answer 2

1- Count the number of <div in notepad++ (Ctrl + F)
2- Count the number of </div

Compare the two numbers!

Answer 3

Use notepad ++ . you can find them easily

Or you can View source from FIREfox - Unclosed divs will be shown in RED

Answer 4

If you use Dreamweaver you could easily note to unclosed div. In the left pane of the code view you can see there <> highlight invalid code button, click this button and you will notice the unclosed div highlighted and then close your unclosed div. Press F5 to refresh the page to see that any other unclosed div are there.

You can also validate your page in Dreamweaver too. File>Check Page>Browser Compatibility, then task-pane will appear Click on Validation, on the left side there you'll see ► button click this to validate.

Enjoy!

I know that there have already been some good answers, but I came across this question with a Google Search and I wish someone would have pointed out this online checking tool...

You just throw in a URL and it will show you the entire map of the page. Very useful for a quick debug like I needed.

Answer 6

Div tags are easy to spot for me. Just download the file, scan it or so with netbeans, then continue debugging it. Or you can use the Google chrome developer kit, and view the page source. I'm a bit of a weird developer, I don't always use the "best" stuff. But it works for me.

I'll link you with some developer stuff I use

Those are just a few of the good ones out there. I'm open to more suggestions to this list :D

Happy programming
