Hi folks, I'm new here and joined because I am stuck with something and i need serious help!
I am trying to save a template here to update my site, but everytime I try to save and update I get an error saying:
There is an error at line 110, column 21 (absolute position 7874) of "C:\Documents and Settings\Anna Higgie\inetpub\Templates\basicpage.dwt": Unbalanced InstanceEnd tag
Here is a link to my website for which I use the template:
www.annahiggie.com
The template has been fine for about a year to use, but today I stupidly tried messing with the code because I wanted to change an aspect of the template, and the consequence: one angry dreamweaver. grrr
any help would be huuuuuugely appreciated, i am stuck here.
below is the html copied directly from dw:

I assume the program that throws the error is DreamWeaver? I don't know anything about DW, but if the position of the error corresponds with what you pasted here, that's just before the closing </html>. AFAICS you have one InstanceBeginEditable and one InstanceEndEditable. They begin and end an editable region, right? Then, before </html>, you have one InstanceEnd. I don't know if there is a DW tag called that, but it sure doesn't match anything. Assuming it's a closing tag, there is no start tag for it. I'd guess you can just remove it.
