I have been tasked with creating a website for a school project, I am not so familiar with coding and Dreamweaver specifically. I was wondering if anyone can help me fix the errors on my website. I have attached the images.

    Paths to assets are pointing to  files on your local computer which nobody can see except you.  That's usually a symptom of not defining your local site folder before starting a project.

    file:///D|/Images....

    That path should be just

    Images/file_name.png

    Your files and folder names  cannot contain any spaces or special characters (&*%^$#) as that is not allowed in HTML5.   But you may use hyphens or underscores if needed.

    Please refer to the  tutorial below for reference.

    I think that there are a few issues as far as I can see from the screen shots.

    One issue is that you may not have defined a site in Dreamweaver. For more see Define a site |

    The other issue is the code which has errors. The best way to see these errors is to check the code here The W3C Markup Validation Service

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
