1232. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:33:55 AM Snow, did you close off the first link with an </a>? 1233. Absensia - 2/20/2000 11:34:58 AM So did I, Snow, but I still messed it up! 1234. dusty - 2/20/2000 11:35:25 AM
SnowOwl
You didn't close properly 1235. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:36:02 AM I don't think so, Cal. I think I deleted the closing when I modified the thing I copied and pasted. 1236. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:37:35 AM dusty,
I'm completely inept when it comes to this stuff. 1237. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:43:39 AM Snow,
Have you checked HTML hints? 1238. dusty - 2/20/2000 11:44:30 AM SnowOwl
This is the place to practice and learn. Don't hesitate to ask questions—I'm sure you will find people willing to help. 1239. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:47:10 AM Oh mea culpa! I am lazy. It's about as much as I can do to find a handy link and copy the code from that. Actually reading hints sounds like hard work.
Dusty, I know, but I'm really just an idle dabbler. If I ever do want to learn and run into problems I'll be sure to ask. 1240. dusty - 2/20/2000 11:50:06 AM SnowOwl
Well, if you go to HTML hints you will see a sample link that you can copy and paste. And use as a template for you own URL's. 1241. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:58:07 AM Snow,
If the HTML hints page is hard work, I have failed miserably. Could you check it and see if it's that dreadful? 1242. Absensia - 2/20/2000 12:07:02 PM Calgirl, speaking for myself, the HTML Hints page is great..it's just operator error (mine) that causes the problems. The "hints" has been very helpful..I return to it time and time again and use it else where. I decided it was time to try it here...and am very glad you and Dusty were here..I was getting FRUSTRATED! 1243. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 12:09:34 PM Calgal's Handy Hints
Cal, the Hints page is very clear and I have reminded myself to use it much more frequently.
1244. CalGal - 2/20/2000 12:14:10 PM Very good! I'll make an HTML coder of you yet. 1245. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 12:15:02 PM I'm saying nothing about Äbs' frustration. 1246. Fraaankster - 2/20/2000 2:19:24 PM Dusty,
Was Message # 1212 addressed to me ? By the way, my question still stands, are attributes supposed to mirror one another ? After wreaking a bit of havoc in the Cafe and Sports thread recently, I'm a bit apprenhensive about experimenting on this or any other thread.

Yes, I closed one open tag, but it wasn't fixed. 1249. dusty - 2/20/2000 2:30:49 PM I think it was in Message # 1208
You had the tags changing color, but only one closing tag.
here's my guess:
You changed the font color to red, then blue, then red again, and you though you needed a single < /font> tag to clear them all out. But this close tag only closed the last color change, and left in the other two color changes.
(You tried a lot of things, and I did't make absolutely sure to match all tags, but I think this is what happened.)
You generally need a close tag for each open tag. As you can see from your experiments, you can use a < font> command to do a number of things, and it only takes one < /font> to turn it off, but if you use more than one < font> tag, even if some of them seem to "undo" each other, you still need a close tag for each one.
But the use of HTML can be very useful, so please do not feel apprehensive.
Test here.
That's what the thread is for.
And if I make comments, they are intended to be constructive, not critical. 1250. Fraaankster - 2/20/2000 2:31:03 PM Dusty,
A mighty big Oops for doing that, Dusty, and thank you for closing it.I'm learning all the time.
By the way, would I have to type out the whole tag if for example I wanted to color each letter of your handle ( Dusty ), or is there a short cut ?
1251. Fraaankster - 2/20/2000 2:34:26 PM Thanks, Dusty! I am taking no umbrage for your help. I take it as constructive and I certainly appreciate it! :-)
