Common Errors

Forgetting "/" or to close container
Mistyping URL (even 1 letter!)
Unbalanced quotes or brackets (<>)
Space runs compacted (use &nbsp)
Return does not equal a space
Return instead of <p> or <br>

Graphics are displayed by the browser with the IMG (Image) tag. In the Image tag, you must specify the path to the image with the SRC (Source) argument.

Netscape supports <center>, an html extension to center images and text. <center> is a container. Look at some other ways to center that are NOT browser specific.

Some common html errors are as follows:

If you forget to close a container, all of the text after that may become bold, italics or whatever tag was opened. Forgetting one of the angle brackets or the slash in the closing tag will cause the same symptoms to appear.

A mistake in entering a URL can cause a Bad URL message to be generated. If you have incorrectly listed the path to a file (either relative or absolute) or the WebMaster has moved the file, you will get a Bad URL message.

Multiple blanks are compressed into a single blank. If you need to space out your text use &nbsp (a non-breaking space).

The browsers will ignore returns in your text. If you have put a return on the end of a line, Netscape will insert a blank instead of the return. Mosaic and Lynx will run the two words together.

Don't forget that an actual return typed in your text is ignored. To end a line and begin another, you must use either a <P> or a <BR> tag.
