[fearrenjith]

umm.... more information...?

what else?
shal i paste the web.config file? is that where the problem belongs to?

 

[kbjradmin]

i don't know a lot about aspx (therefore, please correct anything wrong that i say), from what i've gathered by searching around, your error seems to mean that your document is empty, usually resulting from some sort of exception being thrown before any output can be made. however, without being able to see the code, it would be difficult to tell where that error is coming from. therefore, please post the code causing the error, so those who know a little more about the topic than me can actually be somewhat helpful.

I'm also getting this error on my asp pages, such as http://loyalty.r-oates.x10.mx/Default.aspx

I'm including the markup below to show that there obviously should be an element found.

I'm also getting this error when I try to view my aspx pages. I'm including the markup for one of my pages to show that this document is certainly NOT empty

The error is created by the browser, because of the header sent by the server.
