This usually occurs when u have one or more unclosed tags in ur markup. It says xml parsing error because asp.net recieves page as an xml doc. Although you can modify it to avoid this but i would recommend you to double check ur markup for unclosed tags first. check this link http://chiragrdarji.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/xml-parsing-error-no-element-found/
