Shane and other web gurus

[Seth]

I have a practical exam to test out of html essentials. This is the basic site I built for that. Will you look a the code and see if there are any glaring errors I need to address before I send this in today?

I am more worried that syntax and structure look correct, the site functions just fine.

I want to skip all the basic stuff I know and move more into actionscript and flash based applications. Passing this pratical exam will save me months of going over the stuff I already know for the most part.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry I haven't been online all day. I'll take a look and check it for you.

Just downloaded the file and it won't decompress properly for some reason. There are no files within.

The zip and the web page both opened fine for me.

Edit: As far as how the site is put together.... not my bag

Shane, I just emailed it to your @rme account for the hell of it.

not a web guru but here's what I found:

index.html - line 10 language is misspelled
motion.html lines 37-39 no closing tag for <param (instead of > it should be />)
print.html line 40 no closing tag for <img (again, instead of > it should be />)
still.html line 35 no closing tag for <img (same as above)
about.html lines 37-65 I think your list tags are messed up. I don't believe you should be putting <li> nested inside of <ul> nested inside of <li> nested inside of <ul>. I may be wrong on this one though.

I didn't look at any of the actual content or wording, I don't think this is what you are after. I do believe though, from first glance, your font choice sucks. You can't hardly read any of your "header" or "footer". I'm by no means a designer, even less so than I am a web guru

cool design for sure, code looked like it was done on a WYSIWYG so I elected not to pour through it myself, there is one other way to check which is using the w3c to check to make sure the code follows the standard via http://validator.w3.org/

Ya, I missed a few closing tags. All the object stuff was copied form a site, That will teach me just to cut/paste.

The font sucks, but I didn't want to waste any more time looking for another, I had to get it in.

As far as the list , that just gives you nested lists.

It's not wysiwyg, I coded it by hand in coda. Lot's of help form css-trick.com

I could see exactly what it was doing, but it was throwing errors in Coda.

Do you know how to check it using coda? On the bottom of your code pane, there's a little triangle exclamation point, when you click it, it will go through and check your code based on the extension and your html declaration.
