Question

I am developing a Lift application using Netbeans and I have everything working apart from the lift xhtml, which is stored with an html extension, creates a number of warning and errors in netbeans for example:

<lift:surround with="default" at="content">
      <div class="lift:HomePage">
            <h2>Summary</h2>
      </div>
</lift:surround>

Gives me the errors

> Element "lift:surround" not allowed as child of element "body" in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
Content model for element 'body':
Flow content.
From line 1, column 1; to line 1, column 43
(Rule Category: Elements structure)

Element name "lift:surround" cannot be represented as XML 1.0.
From line 1, column 1; to line 1, column 43
(Rule Category: All Other)
----

Is there a way to configure Netbeans so it does not present these errors when this is valid Lift coding?

Answer 1

This doesn’t directly answer your question, but you can rewrite all the lift:xxx tags differently to make parsers that expect HTML happy — for instance, with <lift:surround>:

<div class="lift:surround?with=default;at=content">
  ... as before ...
</div>
