Here are some common mistakes that people make when creating their web pages.
| Problem: | "When I click on a link on my page nothing happens." |
| Solution: | Check that the address (URL) is enclosed in double quotes. |
| Problem: | "When I click on a link on my page I get a message that the URL is not found." |
| Solution: | Check that the link referred to actually exists. Once you have verified this, use the copy command to copy and paste the address into your page. This will reduce the chances of making a mistake when typing it out manually. |
| Problem: | "I made changes to my HTML but they did not appear when I viewed my page on the Web." |
| Solution: | Your browser may be accessing a copy of your page that it is storing in a cache instead of reloading it. Try the reload command. |
| Problem: | "My graphics do not appear in my page." |
| Solution: | Check to ensure that the graphics are located at the specified location (URL or sub-directory). Also, check that the name is correct and that it is in the correct case. Remember, in UNIX "Picture" and "picture" are not the same. |
