Can anyone advise me on this or suggest a group where I might seek help?
I'm trying to work through an introductory exercise in QUE books' "Using
HTML". This involves writing some text in notepad and then adding
tags to produce a basic home page for some imaginary family.
What they tell me to enter is
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The Fayne Family Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="FFFFFF" text="000000" link = "0000FF" alink="FF0000"
vlink="800000>
<H1>The Fayne Family Page</H1>
<H2>Who We Are</H2>
<P>
.... some text...
<H2>Where We Live</H2>
<P>
.... some more text ...
<H2>Our Special Interests</H2>
<P>
.... some more text ...
<H2>Fun Places We've Been</H2>
<P>
.... yet more text ...
</BODY>
</HTML>
This causes the first two paragraphs to vanish, though the last two --
"Our Special Interests" and "Fun Places We've Been" -- display as the
book suggests they should, at least in Mozilla 1.6 and IE6. Removing
<BODY bgcolor="FFFFFF" text="000000" link = "0000FF" alink="FF0000"
vlink="800000>
and replacing it with <BODY>, on the other hand, displays the full
exercise as it's supposed to appear.
Where have I gone wrong?
