Default GeoCities site revisited (& thank you note) - 07-09-2006 , 09:03 AM






You guys were right; I downloaded a different browser (Mozilla
Firefox) and a number of things in my site didn't work. For one thing,
I had to go through and put the asci code for the bullet ( • ),
as it was showing up as a question mark. I've been using
http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm for years to get asci code, but
thought I could get away with the plain bullet. I shoudln't have.

The thing that troubles me the most is that the down-page (I'm making
up this terminology as I got along) links, which (for example, on the
FAQ at http://www.geocities.com/conniesunday/FAQ.html) link from the
top of the page to the relevant section later in the page.

These no longer function with Mozilla. Why is that? What can I do
about it?

Many thanks!

Connie

The 172 machine detectable syntax errors can't be helping ...

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...Q.html%3F20069

.... but href="#foo" means "Link to the document fragment called 'foo'"
(not '#foo').

I got 250 when I checked "Show Source." That's just overwhelming. I
don't even know where to begin.

Interesting that it always worked before, but not in the new browser.
Oh, man.

The fragment links do not have the "#" in them. For instance,
<a name="#5"> should be <a name="5">. Also add the closing tag, </a>, to
all of the <a name=...>s.

Okay, I'll fix it. About the other 225 errors, I'm not sure. :-)

Thank you so much!

Begining with the first error is usually a good start (since one error can
be the cause of a subsequent error).
