Inline markup blocks (@<p>Content</p>) cannot be nested. Only one level of inline markup is allowed.

[Somi]

I have a div  tag which has all three controls within the tag

1. TabStrip as the main container

2. Panel bar inside the tab

3.Dropdown inside the panel bar.

But the code is giving me the error - Inline markup blocks (@<p>Content</p>) cannot be nested.  Only one level of inline markup is allowed.

Can somebody help me to resolve  and  fix it.

Below is my code structure

        <div class="InputArea">
            @(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
                    .Name("ScenaioNMDTabStrip")
                    .TabPosition(TabStripTabPosition.Top)
                    .Items(tabstrip =>
                    {
                     tabstrip.Add().Text("NMD")
                    .Selected(true)
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 55px;width: 20%;" })
                    .Content(@<text>
                    <div class="col-lg-11" style="float:left;">
                    </div>
                @(Html.Kendo().PanelBar()
                .Name("panelbar1")
                .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:200px;" })
                .Items(panelbar=>{
                panelbar.Add().Text("Scenario NMD")
                .Content(@<text>
                    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                    .Name("EmpyreanVersion")
                    .DataTextField("VersionId")
                    .DataValueField("VersionId")
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 150px;" })
                    )
                </text>);
                })
                
                )
            </text>);
              tabstrip.Add().Text("Empyrean");
                    })
                )
        </div>

Hello Somi,

Thank you for the code snippet and the details provided.

The issue is caused by the nested @<text> blocks. This is not a Telerik UI issue. Razor only allows one level of inline markup, so you need to restructure the code to avoid nesting @<text> inside another @<text>.

In order to achieve the desired behavior, I would recommend moving the nested components outside the @<text> block and use Content with a separate variable for better readability and to avoid Razor's inline markup nesting restriction.

 

Kind Regards,
