Problem with the error

I keep encountering an error that says the following:

Error Line 68, Column 7: End of file reached when inside an attribute value. Ignoring tag. </html>

The tag is there but whenever I test it I get the same error. Should I ignore it?

Joseph: Probably best not to ignore this. Based on the error, it looks like you have a syntax error in one of your opening tags that's causing problems. It's hard to tell without seeing your code, but my guess would be something like this:

<div class="contentWrapper'>
<p>This is my content.</p>
</div>

Notice the mismatched quotes in the opening div tag...I have double quotes to open the class and a single quote to close it. In the eyes of the browser, since there are no double quotes to end the class list, everything that follows in this document is part of the div's class list.

There's a pretty good chance this is the kind of error you have, but if you'd like to post your code I can take a look at it for you.

Hope that helps.

I'll copy and paste the code:

Joseph: Not sure, but try removing the space in your viewport meta tag and replacing it with a hyphen.

So, instead of:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial scale=1.0">

you would have:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

I tried adding a hyphen but it didn't help. Any other suggestions?
