tutorial 1: troubleshooting linking errors

Notes

General Advice

• Check links as you code.
• Look for spelling/typing errors.
• There may be more than one error in a linked resource
• Be patient as you troubleshoot

Bookmark Link Errors

• Did you encode the target with an id property correctly?
• Did you put the id in the right place on your HTML page?
• Did you use # before your target in your <a> tag?
• Does your href match your id label?

External Link Errors

• Is your URL correct?
• Is your copied code correct and complete?
• Is your tag complete (no missing properties or "")
• Is your syntax correct? Remember your pointer properties:
• src is used with <img>
• src is used with <script>
• href is used with <a>
• href is used with <link>
• src:url("") is used with @font-face
• url("") is used with background-image:

Referential Link Errors

• Check all the items from the External Link list and then...
• Is your referential link calculated correctly? Check your web hierarchy
• Did you move the file to a new location and not recalculate the link?
• Do you have the correct file extension?
