.html, what am I doing wrong?

J

Joe Magiera

I'm using plain .html writing with notepad. Please see this web site
and view the source:

http://www.tollianweb.com/uc/10_games/8_of_10_games.html

In the source, you'll notice after a group of pictures, I put in a
heading for the next group of pics. How come every heading (except
the first one) is hyperlinked to the last picture of the group before
the heading?

For example, after the first few pictures, I tried both:

<h2>Ms. Pac-Man</h2>

-and-

<p>Ms. Pac-Man</p>

and both of these are hyperlinked to the last picture before them.
Every heading has the same issue (except the very first one).

What am I doing wrong? How do I get rid of the hyperlink on the
headings?

If you can advise, if possible, please email direct too. Since AT&T
stopped newsgroup support, I have a very hard time using the
newsgroups.

Thanks,

All your img src tags aren't closed.
<A HREF="Picture 1450_h.jpg"><IMG SRC="Picture 1450.jpg"</A>
Should have a > at the end of each .jpg" like...
..jpg"></A>

;)

Just so ya know, usenet users hardly ever email someone unless they know
them.

Because the tags are not properly closed.
You forgot to close out the img src tag properly.
Use notepads "search and replace" tool and replace all "</a>"
with "></a>" and you should be fine.

No, he won't be fine, RtS. Following your advice will fix the bad links, and
corrupt this one:

Thanks to all for catching the missing tag close! IT worked. Thanks
much.

Since you're going to link a zoomable photo, why not post a smaller photo
on the main page?
Kind of like the way google does images.

Do you mean smaller dimensionally so it takes less screen space, or
lower resolution so the front page loads quicker? The latter is
certainly useful.
