What is important, and what doesn't make any differenceCapitalization - Within your HTML Tags. Makes no difference. Many people use ALL CAPS for their HTML Tags, and sometimes I do too, but usually I don't.Capitalization - When defining images and filenames. ESSENTIAL! It doesn't matter whether you capitalize the names or not. It just matters that you be completely consistent. You can fool yourself this way, because this kind of error won't be a problem when you are testing your page on your computer. When you upload it to your website, though, it won't work. Also, beware of the programs that automatically change the capitalizations of names when they upload the images to your site. Check them when they are uploaded to be sure they haven't been changed. Quotation Marks - Within HTML Tags many things are defined, and the custom is to enclose them in quotation marks. It often isn't necessary. The only essential is that if you use an opening quotation mark, you MUST also use a closing quotation mark, or it won't work. Sometimes the quotation marks are needed. I'll tell you about those cases as we get to them. When in doubt, use them, and be sure to use closing quotes every time you use opening quotes. Spacing - Within HTML Tags, usually important. Copy the spacing exactly as in my examples. Outside HTML Tags, not at all important. Browser programs ignore spaces and line breaks in your text, and always leave only one space between words. To force the browser to add spaces or line breaks you must use the appropriate HTML Tags. Order of tags - usually not important. Your META Tags should be in the "head" of your document, and so should the TITLE. But you can have them in any order within the "head". Order of instructions within tags - not important. For an image tag, for example, you start with <IMG but after that you will define the height, width, source (SRC) alt, and possibly border and other things. These may be in any order. Line breaks - The only reason for putting line breaks in your code is to make it easy for YOU to understand. Browser programs ignore all spaces and line breaks in your text. Closing HTML Tags to match your Opening Tags - They are usually important. Use a closing tag for every opening tag you use. |
