If it doesn't work first ask yourself
- Do I have opening and closing parenthesis, tags, angle brackets (those greater-than and less-than signs)...
- Did I mistype something (like a , instead of a < becasue I forgot to hit the shift button)?
- Did I remember to hit save before hitting refresh? Or before uploading?
- Did I spell everything correctly (esp. the tags. scr won't work, when src does)?
- Am I uploading into the wrong folder?
Still having trouble? Try
- Moving the tags around. A student had trouble with a center tag nested inside a link. When she rearranged them, the weird behavior stopped!
- Remove extra spaces (line breaks *should be okay* You can remove them is there is big troubles, and you start to pull out your hair.) Tables in particular will space strangely if there is a space, or sometimes a line break between cells.
Debugging is mostly a game of patience. But sometimes, you just have to erase and start over...
