In MyEclipse 5.1.0 GA, I ran the JSP validator on some files and got an error at the </form> tag line saying that there is no <form> tag when in fact there is. I believe it has something to do with the fact that the form in inside of a table. I have 2 JSP files that use a form inside of a table and they both show the same validation error.
Here’s a snippet of the JSP file that shows the problem.
<pre>
<table id=”attInput” border=0 cellpadding=3 width=100%>
<tr valign=top>
<form name=upload target=result method=post enctype=’multipart/form-data’ action=’../servlet/FileAttachmentServlet’>
<td width=100%><input name=Import value=”” type=file style=”width:360″></td>
<td><input type=submit onclick=’return(validate(document.all.Import, “A file name”));’ value=”Accept” style=”width:90;”></td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
</pre>
The error appears on the </form> tag saying “No start tag (<form>)”.I cannot reproduce an error, but I can reproduce a warning (because your form is in an invalid location). Try a new JSP file with the contents:
<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <body> <table id="attInput" border=0 cellpadding=3 width=100%> <tr valign=top> <form name=upload target=result method=post enctype='multipart/form-data' action='../servlet/FileAttachmentServlet'> <td width=100%> <input name=Import value="" type=file style="width:360"> </td> <td> <input type=submit onclick='return(validate(document.all.Import, "A file name"));' value="Accept" style="width:90;"> </td> </form> </tr> </table> </body> </html>Did that work?
No, it did not work for me. I still get the error, no start tag. Here’s my installation details.

Can you try and download our All-In-One installer for 5.1, install it, then run it, creating a new workspace and then try my sample file again?
The same thing happens using the All-In-One installer for 5.1. I created a new Enterprise Application Project with a Web Project Module and then ran validation on the jsp directory which contained a file with your code in it. It gave the same No start tag (<form>) error on the form end tag.
Did you make sure to create a new workspace? Something fishy is going on here because I cannot reproduce this on any of our test setups (Windows or Linux) using clean installs. So there is some small difference going on here and I’m trying to narrow down what it is.
I did create a new workspace and used the root directory of the project for it. My previous workspace was under the eclipse directory.
Oh, try the default File > New > Project > Web Project, with the default settings (where you have a WebRoot directory) and don’t change anything. Then see if that works. We had a bug where the validator and autocomplete wouldn’t work when the project root was also the webroot and I wonder if that is what is going on.
Using the All-In-One setup, I created a new Web Project using all the defaults, then I created a jsp folder under WebRoot and added the file with your code. JSP validation still gave the error about no start tag.
rroy,
I checked the HTML spec and the validator is right… that is not a valid location. I changed it to this and the error cleared up:<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <body> <form name=upload target=result method=post enctype='multipart/form-data' action='../servlet/FileAttachmentServlet'> <table id="attInput" border=0 cellpadding=3 width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=100%> <input name=Import value="" type=file style="width:360"> </td> <td> <input type=submit onclick='return(validate(document.all.Import, "A file name"));' value="Accept" style="width:90;"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>Does thta work for you in your case, or do you need the form tag in that invalid location? Most browsers will allow it, so if you need it, my suggestion would be to mark the file as “Excluded” from validation (right click -> MyEclipse -> Exclude from Validation)
