Hi there,

I changed my system to .Net 4.0 a few days ago and now I've just realised that I can no longer edit any of the Dynamic Forms instances. Any attempt to edit is met with the error pasted below.

This is DataSprings_DynamicForms_Module33_61_DNN45PLUS running on DNN 5.5.0

It's a bit of a show-stopper problem. Would upgrading to 3.4 fix this perhaps?

I've also just now found where Chad has been asking about this issue in the DNN forums. It sounds as if the issue is caused by non compliant markup and from what I can see, DynamicQuestions.ascx is full of errors in that regard. I'll try and clean it up, but hopefully there's already a fix?

Regards
Rob

Hello Rob,

Yes this has been fixed with the release of Dynamic Forms 3.4. The initial problem was it relates to a few markup HTML issues. So this has been fixed with Dynamic Forms 3.4. Please follow this link to upgrade to Dynamic Forms 3.4:

Thanks for the reply Ryan,

I managed to find the faulty tag - a missing quote at line 2955. Now it works fine.

I do plan on getting the next module package, but will ask about upgrading to a higher license when I do, as I have a second dnn instance I want to use it on as well. The price of the enterprise is steep tho... $1000 bucks! :o  Are there any discounts available for upgrading to that?

Just fyi, that DynamicQuestions.ascx file is absolutely packed with errors and really needs a serious makeover. I spent a couple of hours sifting through it last night from top to bottom.
It has tags leapfrogging everywhere, plenty of incomplete tags, and literally hundreds of validation errors... they don't break the module, but are wrong all the same and easy to fix... just a bit of work given the huge size of the file. It even has fantasy code in it such as nowrap="True"... it closes with just a /tbody. 

In any case, I'm pleased to be back in action
Regards
Rob

Rob,

Thanks for your feedback.I know we cleaned this up significantly in the 3.4 release (i.e. no upper case tags etc...). Ill review this further though and run it through some checkers.
