Common Questions and Answers on HTML
I have had many frustrating experiences with html,
and I always enjoyed having difficult, or confusing,
questions answered. This page does not have a list of
all the tags, nor instructions of how to make a web page,
this just tells the solution to many frustrating questions.

Q: I want to space something on my page. No matter how many <P>'s I put in, it stays the same distance apart!
A: A <P> only puts a space in if there isn't one already, try a <BR> or two, they will ALWAYS put a space.
Q: My links are messed up! When I preview the page, more text/pictures are part of the link than I wanted!
A: Check to see if you forgot the , or, make sure you have the ending parenthesis (") at the end of the href= tag.
Q: On one of my links that uses an Image for the links, there is an exta little thing sticking out the color of my links.
Q: How do I put a mail link that automatically puts in the subject?
A: Make the link like this:
<a href="mailto:caps_lock@bitsmart.com?subject=My toe is king!">click</a>
Q: Why do my links and nearby text touch tegether, like this: clickhere!
A: You people reading this might think it's a stupid question, but no, it does happen. You need to put a space after the text, right before the <a href=""> tag.
Q: My links dont work AT ALL.
A: Make sure that your tag says <a HREF=""> NOT <a HERF="">.
(I put this one in because I just did it editing my page...)
Q: How do you keep your text away from the type of background on this page?
A: You can put in indentions in your page by putting 1, 2, or 3 <ul>'s right after the <body> tag, and the same number of </ul> right before the </body> tag.
Q: When I try to view my page, it just say Dir of [insert your directory name here]. What happened?
A: You need to have your main page be called index.html, otherwise the browser just displays the whole directory.
