Synook Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The img tag (and all content) has to go inside the body element.Also, spaces need to be encoded as %20. Try not to use spaces in filenames. Check that the image actually exists were you think it does.On a separate note, <p> is not an empty tag and the end of each paragraph needs to be denoted by </p>.

Check that the image actually exists were you think it does.On a separate note, <p> is not an empty tag and the end of each paragraph needs to be denoted by </p>.In fact, in HTML 4.01 Strict, it is perfectly valid to leave a <p> tag open. Try in the W3C validator. (Also, refer to my signature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We discourage authors from using empty P elements. User agents should ignore empty P elements.Which admittedly is not the same thing as saying it's not valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Which admittedly is not the same thing as saying it's not valid.That's not mentioning open tags, it's mentioning empty elements, like this: <p></p>. It really is a bad practice.Not closing <p> tags is neither a bad practise, nor discouraged. It's just more normal and easier to understand writing a closing </p> tag in HTML (that's why I do it). Also, it makes it easier to switch to XHTML if that becomes necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ah. You're right, of course. Monday morning and I'm not thinking clearly, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to <p> and <li> tags in HTML 4.01, I don't recommend it, but neither do I discourage it.It all depends on the preference of the web programmer because it has no negative effect whatsoever on the resulting page.Other practices, such as short-tags (example:<a href=""<b></</a> ), I discourage because it has little support from many browsers (I think the big ones work, though).

justsomeguy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 <a href=""<b></</a>Support or not, that just looks ugly. It looks like someone sneezed on the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
