Odd Blade? Issue | Laravel.io

posted 9 years ago

Not even sure where to start - just looking for maybe a point in the right direction.

I've got something adding markup prior to my doctype on some pages like this:

</div>
  </div>
 <!DOCTYPE HTML>

Can't find where this is coming from. Everything else is fine, it's just this extraneous markup.

Code:

Controller:

  return view("progs.general.apps", compact('progs'));

progs.general.apps Top line:

  @extends('progs.baseApps')

progs.baseApps Top Line:

  @extends('main')

main Top Line:

  <!DOCTYPE HTML>
  <html>
   
  <head> etc.

I'm new to Blade, but this is driving me crazy. I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

Depending on how big your project is, but have you tried to search for </div> in the whole project?

Thank you - I should have thought of this. Had over 1000 </divs> and none were in a place to sit above the <DOCTYPE>. However, this did help me to find the answer

Turns out I had a </div> placed outside the correct section, and inside the js section (though still HTML). This mistake apparently made Laravel move the </div> to the top of the page.

Odd - but at least found it. And maybe someone else with same issue some day will see this before tearing out their hair.
