Beginner's Problems

Featured Replies

Hello. I have fairly recently started a website Ubereadoolische dot com for the clubbing scene in my local area and have just done an interview with someone which I wanted to have ready today but I have problems.

 

I am still new to HTML5 and CSS3 so they are probably simple errors.

 

In decreasing order of importance my problems are:

 

  1. Half of the text does not appear in IE. I assume this is something to do with me using markers such as p5 which seems to work on Chrome but not IE.

 

  1. The pictures do not load on Firefox.

 

  1. The Facebook share link does not use the relevant photo at the top and uses one from the older separate feature on the page.

 

  1. The text after some of the links in the interview are going straight to a new line rather than just continuing in one sentence.

 

 

I could probably figure it out with enough time but I promised my interviewee that I would have it up today to help with their promotion so any advice appreciated – if only number 1 is resolved that would be satisfactory.

 

Any advice for a beginner would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

James

1. As far as I'm aware there is no such element as <p1> or <p5> ... it's just <p>.

 

2. Your image paths are wrong, you're using a backslash rather than a forward slash.

 

3. I don't see a FB share button... where is it?

 

4. You're putting your links between <li> on the interview page - you don't need the <li>, they are just for lists.

 

 

Are you coding this from scratch or using WYSIWYG software?

 

EDIT: Answering the rest of your questions.

Gosh they were fairly dumb mistakes weren't they?!

 

I have been coding from scratch, not interested in using software, I want to learn it properly so I can do it for a living in the future.

 

Granted with those kind of mistakes I am a little way away from that!

 

FB share button is below the interview - I have now worked that out by using the debug tool on Facebook itself.

 

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
