[SOLVED] <div> starting in header template and ending in footer template

Is that right?

There isn't any way that CodeIgniter would cause this to happen. I have to guess you have some code you're not showing and in that code there is a <div> that isn't closed. The magically appearing closing tag is being supplied by the browser.

You were right dave friend! I did have a <div> that wasn't closed somewhere within my code. 

Thank you and everyone else who tried to help me here.
