Everything is working well for 90% of the nodes I'm loading into QuickTabs.

Some of the nodes, though, will not load. They render as blank.

The part that confused me was that if I delete some of the text in the nodes, it will show up just fine. For example, the node will not load until I delete the text inside a certain paragraph tag. Often, if I just delete one word in a given block of text, it will load again.

Any help much appreciated! If you need any relevant details, let me know.

can you access the same node using the mysite.com/node/x in the address bar?

Hi Pasqualle,
Yes, I can access the node using /node/x.

can you give an example what do you have to delete from the node to be able to display it? but please be exact about the example, because I think an invalid html may result in such problem as you described.

please test your page with
http://validator.w3.org/
or with the Firefox plugin: Html Validator

make sure you do not have a missing </div> or similar..

Thanks for your very quick response - it is really appreciated!

I tested the page against the WC3 Validator. It flagged a few errors, which I corrected. The page now validates without errors or warnings (http://tinyurl.com/valid-url).

I've included the html from one of the nodes I had trouble with. I notice that if I delete the text below "The Program of Studies for M.A. etc." it will load. Why, I can't figure...

Apologies for the HTML formatting - that's how IMCE renders the HTML...

This is strange. I can confirm, your example does not load in ajax mode.
I just simply reformatted the text with auto-format in Eclipse, and it works now.

but, I do not know why..

Hi Pasqualle,
There are many mysteries in life, but I think I have solved this one.

The copy originally came from a Word document - it was copied into notepad (I believe), to strip out Word formatting, then copy-and-pasted into the node field.

In the translation, the "
 " character was retained (I'm not sure if it will show up in this post - it is a small square like a bullet point). This character is invisible in the IMCE html view (and in Notepad), but visible in Dreamweaver. I did a search and replace to strip out this character, and now everything is fine.

Strange but true.

Thanks again for your help.
