Title: Website not wrking properly
Post by: i_am_a_pirate on March 28, 2009, 04:32:53 PM
Hi guys,
A while ago I started to make a website for the band im in, but then I kinda got bored/couldn't upload it because of the number of files, etc. So now I've finally found some free hosting with ftp support, and I went back to my website and it just comes up with a blank page, even though thecode is still there. I was wondering if some of you code junkies could look through the index and see if anything's appearing wrong. All the pictures are linked properly (I've double-checked that). Thanks a lot!
oh and I couldn't upload a .html file so I just changed it to a .txt, but in the html format it still loads up blank.

You might want to make it validate.  That might be the issue.

Oh and just to be sure doesn't look like there's anything wrong with the HTML.

LOL. There's more wrong with it than I can write. There's a lot of work to come...

yeah, by far. There's a few too many meu's thopugh. I mean, to get through to cPanel you have to log in, then click 'proceed' then go to the link, then log in AGAIN with another username, then site manager, then click on the file, then cloick edit, then scroll and click edit again to FINALLY get to editing a file lol. But it is an amazing deal...

What I meant was nothing that was really wrong and stood out. I only know a few basics of HTML... and I didn't read through the whole script.

argh, yeah I know. I mean generally, the syntax is bad because the hosting service that I use (and cPanel) manage to change my code. eg. I type in <br> and it changes it to <br />. I mean, the amount of line breaks I use, it just makes the site bigger. It adds stuff in as well. But tbh, as long as it works on firefox, safari and IE I don't REALLY mind about it.

hmm, i took a look at that and again, most of it is from the panel 'correcting' my code

First off, <br /> is the correct form :)
Secondly, that's why you should use direct FTP :D

haha, yeah I wondered about that lol. but it's still 2 extra characters! :D
direct FTP? I tried to set it up a million times with filezilla, but it just didn't work! So i just used web disk I think...

<br> is HTML. <br /> is XHTML.
