# Error Line 75 column 11: character data is not allowed here.

<noscript> Javascript disabled. Style switcher will not function. </noscript>

You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear.
Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the
body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such
as a <p>aragraph</p>) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where
characters such as "&#37;" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without
surrounding quotes).


# Error Line 75 column 76: end tag for "noscript" which is not finished.

...le switcher will not function. </noscript>

Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example
<p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>.
Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element
that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not
complete. For instance, <head> generally requires a <title>, lists (ul, ol, dl)
require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.


Strange... any ideas?

On a Side note...
"Do not try and bend the code. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth."
"What truth?"
"There is no character data."
"There is no character data?"
"Then you'll see, that it is not the code that bends, it is only yourself."

There's a strange unprintable character in there (Unicode "\xe2\x9c\x89").

Erm... looks like the debugger is a bit nuts.

No... <noscript> isn't a text element, it wants a <p> or something to contain that text.
