Il include the comments.php code:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
	if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
?>

<h2><?php _e('Password Protected'); ?></h2>
<p><?php _e('Enter the password to view comments.'); ?></p>

<?php return;
	}
}

	/* This variable is for alternating comment background */

$oddcomment = 'alt';

?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
	<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>

<ol class="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

	<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

<div class="commentmetadata">
<strong><?php comment_author_link() ?></strong>, <?php _e('on'); ?> <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> <?php _e('at');?> <?php comment_time() ?></a> <?php _e('Said:'); ?> <?php edit_comment_link('Edit Comment','',''); ?>

		<em><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.'); ?></em>
 		<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<?php comment_text() ?>
	</li>

<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
	if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
	else $oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
	</ol>

<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

<?php endif; ?>


<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

If you can advise where i may be going wrong, thanks.

 

The issue isn't in comments.php. It's likely before comments.php is called. Try looking at single.php (assuming this is wordpress of course).

You are either missing a " or ', or you have an extra one somewhere. Search for the phrase comments-template in the other template files (Ctrl+F in Dreamweaver) and see what it turns up.

 

Thanks Greg-J, your right the problem was in single.php, i had <div> class="comments-template"> i couldn't for the life of me see the error yesterday, i must of been tired thanks for your help.
