I cannot get one of my links to work on my website on Dreamweaver

[stephaniem20202520]

I cannot get one of my links to work on my website: http://s14.piercedigitaldesign.com  All of the links function properly, but the last one will not link to my assignment no matter what I try.  I've tried linking other assignments and even websites, but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

is the link you can't get working the "hi there" link?

[stephaniem20202520]

No, it is for Assignment 18/Salon

[Ussnorway]

works for me... try another machine and browser

[stephaniem20202520]

Thank you!  Do any of the other links work in the navigation? Do you think this is because I am on a Mac?

[John Waller]

All links work here.

Try clearing your browser cache.

[Ussnorway]

the last "hi there" link at the end doesn't work because your code is wrong... all the others look ok at my end on a FF browser

p.s, Mac has nothing to do with it mate

[stephaniem20202520]

Thank you so much! How about the links within Assignment 18?

[Ussnorway]

the home link works... the "our team" and "Services" links look like anchors that you have not added yet?

are you making these for a school test... is the browser you use working inside a proxy server perhaps?

p.s, for what its worth I agree with Nancy... building tables is a bad (out of date) way to make your web sites

[stephaniem20202520]

I am making this for an assignment in one of my Digital Design classes in school.  I have no idea if I am working inside a proxy server? This is my first class with any coding at all, so I'm not sure if I am doing things correctly.  Is there any way to center everything and make the spacing better?

[stephaniem20202520]

On assignment 18, how do I make another page with the same background?  Copy and Paste?

[Ussnorway]

If the browser you used is at this school then I would assume proxy server and that would be why it works for us (outside the school) but not for you... there is little point in try to tell a school something doesn't work correct so move on and test from home each day is my advice.

copy - paste is a bad idea with any code systems ime but that is an option... have they showed you how to set up your testing server at least... I hate to ask but what version of Dreamweaver is your school teaching you with?

p.s, I don't remember the old codes for table styles... perhaps ask the teacher mate

Fix your code errors.  Tables are obsolete for web page layouts.  Use CSS instead.

Thank you! I really don't know what I am doing, this is my first class using any kind of code.  I'm not sure I can figure out what you've sent but I appreciate it very much!  How would you make a page with a bunch of pictures of stylists and their names on it without using a table and making it responsive?

[Nancy OShea]

HTML = content & structure.

CSS = making it look pretty.

Since you're a beginner, you should focus on HTML5 code first.   This is the basis of every web page.  Do it right and you won't have problems.  Do it wrong and you will fail. 

A hyperlink to an outside URL should be expressed like this:

<a href="https://example.com">Visit Outside Link</a>

A hyperlink to an internal URL in your local site is expressed like this:

<a href="some_filename.html">Visit Internal Link</a>

Once you get your HTML code laid down without errors, then you can focus on styling it with CSS code.  This will provide your content with a pleasing layout, colors, backgrounds and fonts.  Do not use tables.

Everyone must crawl before he/she can walk.  So take things one step at a time.  Don't try to do everything at once.   You won't learn that way.

Read chapters, work with code exercises and take quizzes at the end.
