I get a new strange error. I tried to copy an existing and working survey, but get the error: This is not a valid LimeSurvey survey structure XML file.

I also tried to export and import, and I get the same error. I have exported and imported several times before, without any problems, so I am surprised that this happened now...

I checked the data integrity on the top tool bar, and it was fine.

What can I do..?

waitz OFFLINE Silver Donor Posts: 166 Thank you received: 1 Karma: 3	I exported the survey to xml, and compared it in winmerge with an earlier version of the survey. I see in the new one that there are many incidents of: between lines, which are not in the old one. Can this be the cause, and do you know what it might be about?

Mazi OFFLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 5116 Thank you received: 261 Karma: 240	This might be the cause if these additional characters break the XML structure. I have never seen this though so I wonder where this comes from. Did you copy-paste content from MS Word? Anything else that is special with this survey?

waitz OFFLINE Silver Donor Posts: 166 Thank you received: 1 Karma: 3	No, I have only copied content from dreamweaver, if anything. I have made some changes since the last survey I have that works on import, but not structural things... I tried to remove the characters and import it to Limesurvey again, but I could not import xml files, I understand?

I have found it... I added a SSL trust logo on the welcoming page, and it has a script:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var tl_loc0=(window.location.protocol == "https:")? "https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js" :
"http://www.trustlogo.com/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js";
document.writeln('<scr' + 'ipt language="JavaScript" src="'+tl_loc0+'" type="text\/javascript">' + '<\/scr' + 'ipt>');
//]]>

When I remove the whole thing, it works.
It doesn't help to remove the commenting // at the beginning and the end, which I don't know why they are not there. But is CDATA not allowed?

The CDATA is for very strict XHTML validation. It is commented out to hide it from old browsers that don't understand it. However, I don't think it is commented out quite correctly. Additionally I don't see any closing of the <script> tag. I think the whole thing should look like:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	/*<![CDATA[*/
		var tl_loc0=(window.location.protocol == "https:")? "https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js" :
		"http://www.trustlogo.com/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js";
		document.writeln('<scr' + 'ipt language="JavaScript" src="'+tl_loc0+'" type="text\/javascript">' + '<\/scr' + 'ipt>');
	/*]]>*/
</script>

Having said that, the JavaScript imported from "trust logo" may be causing problems. Should you trust it ?

Cheers,
Tony

Mazi OFFLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 5116 Thank you received: 261 Karma: 240	Thanks for your feedback. As said, the CDATA probably irritates the import and breaks the structure.
