extends base.html error

Hello and thank you in advance...

In Django I have a child template that updates a base.html template. I keep getting an error:

<ExtendsNode: extends "base.html"> must be the first tag in the template.

When the code in the child template looks like this:

{% extends "simple/base.html" %}

{% block picklist %}

        <title></title>

        <h1>Simple Index</h1> #...

I dont get why I am getting this error, when the EXTENDS tag is clearly the first tag.

Both the base and the child template live in the same directory, in my template path /simple.

Thank you,

dp

I figured this out...

I had another {% extends %} tag on the templet which was commented out using HTML <!-- --> comments. The comments were ignored and the extends tag was read and generated the 503 error.

Thank you,
