for some reason, the content of my layout template file (in the layout subdirectory) is being output prior to the content of the page template file (in the theme subdirectory), resulting in invalid html structure.
any ideas what would cause this behavior?
thanks for any thoughts.
ok, i think i found the problem. you could not see it in what i had posted above. some of the init code for the page is using output buffering, and i was using ob_clean() to finish. obviously backdrop also uses output buffering, and i had created a conflict there. i just changed that to ob_end_clean(), and it seemed to clear up the issue.
thanks for trying to help!
