Dreamweaver Template code showing up on web page?

I've been working with dreamweaver templates for a few years, and until cs5, i've never seen this happen, and I feel stupid, like I should know why this has happened, but I don't.

At the top of my web pages, there is template code showing? How do I make that go away?

Here's what shows:


And here's my code inside the template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>



<style type="text/css">

Thanks to anyone with any ideas. : )

Try cutting the text from the page then go into codeview and paste it below the top row.

BDW,
Thank you for your reply. To be clear, you mean cut this:


and paste it below the top row... in the template?
The top row of what, exactly?

Technically anything between the <head></head> or  should not show in your browser. So I'm assuming you are using a template, if that is the case then I doubt I can help as I have only once used them and not very successfully. I use DW all the time (although I'm about to throw it out of the window) and have never come across this.

It's probably showing because it's in the wrong place. That should be at the top of the code. If it's showing then it may be because that part of the template is outside of a previous head section. Here is the basic structure as it should be:

Example A

<doctype>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Here is an example of how what you are seeing can happen:

Example B

<doctype>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<doctype>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Example A demonstrates the basic structure your code should have. Examine your code and find where it deviates from that structure. Then please let us know what you find. ;)

Shado & Martini, THANK YOU. I see what you're saying about where the head lands. So I found an old template from a site I created a long time ago, and copied the first 5 lines from that template in to my new one, and uploaded it, and it fixed it. BUT... here's the weird thing, dreamweaver STILL put that same line of text into the pages, BEFORE the <head> section.

Here's my new template code:
____________________________________
<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<title>Untitled Document</title>



___________________________________

And here's the code inside one of the pages with the template applied to it. AND, it's greyed out in the code view of the page, so i can't make any changes to it, at all.
____________________________________
<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<title>Untitled Document</title>

This seems to have fixed it, but I wish I knew exactly why.

Thanks again!

maybe it's because of the type of document your are selecting, and maybe because it's a template, it has it's own set of rules as default, and maybe that code it's on that rules.
