Illegal Nesting

[cpk]

Just opened a site I made a couple of years ago with an earlier version of Xara Web Designer (now using WD Premium 8) and get an error message "Found potentially illegal nesting". Can anyone give me some advice on how I resolve this?

Thanks

Usually this refers to shacking up with someone to whom one is not betrothed, but laws in Scotland might be different.

I have no idea what this error refers to. Does it cause the program to crash or the site not to publish? If not I would ignore it.

Thanks for the imaginative interpretation Gary - could equally apply in Scotland!

I should have mentioned that the error code is displayed as soon as I open the site in Xara so I assume that Xara MX Pro 8 is seeing it as something incorrect and possibly something in the HTML code rules that have changed since the site was first created (in an earlier version of Xara) a couple of years ago. The site is still working OK for the client but is now not appearing in search engines and I wonder if this error may be causing the problem.

Any other thoughts will be welcomed.

Check the Website Properties menu and make sure you have added descriptive page titles, descriptions and keywords. And when you publish, you include the Website URL (see attached). This creates a site map which will help with the SEO.

Yes, these are all in place and completed, including web URL and have been for past year. Also all pages have meta words and descriptions.

Well using the Submit your URL to Google is always worth a try

It didn't register at first, but I now remember that I had the same problem when I went from 6 to 7. In that version the illegal nesting killed the programme. Xara support found and fixed it for me and obviously tightened up the checking in 8. Unfortunately I cannot remember ecactly what the problem was it was something about a contour . But I am sure Xara support can tell you.
