I am making a personal website that is going to have a blog and I am having some trouble writing the HTML. I have posted a copy of what I have and I know where the couple issues are coming up but dont know how to fix them. I took the end tags off in case the HTML shows up on this forum.
Can you tell me why the link using the <a href="#post1" is not working in this code? It brings me to an error page and I thought it was supposed to bring me to that area of the page. Thanks in advance for your help!! <!doctype html <html <head <title Jared Magid’s Webpage </title </head <body <h1 Welcome to My Website! </h1 <hr / <h2 Table of Contents </h2 <a href=”#Post1” title=”First Post” Post 1</a <br / <a href=”#Post2” title=”Second Post” Post 2</a> <br / <h3 <a name=”Post1” </a Blog Post 1 </h3 <p POSTPOSTPOST</p <h3 <a name=”Post2”></a Blog Post 2 </h3 <p POSTPOSTPOST </p </body </html |

All your tags lack the closing >. Even the doctype (that isn't a tag).
Also, you don't need to use A name="". See: http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/links.html#named-anchor |

The addition of the end tag was just to make sure it didnt post in html. This is my first time using these boards.
I tried doing what the portion you pulled up was referencing, but it wasnt working for me. can you see what is broken here? I am also a little confused about end tags. should the / always be at the front or should it be at the end or does it matter? <h2> Table of Contents </h2> <a href=”#Post1”> Post 1</a> <br /> <a href=”#Post2”> Post 2</a> <br /> <h2 id="Post1"><a name="Post1"> Blog Post 1 </a> </h2> <p>POSTPOSTPOST</p> <h2 id="Post2"><a name="Post2"> Blog Post 2 </a> </h2> <p> POSTPOSTPOST </p> |

You use the wrong kind of double quote characters here:
CODE <a href=”#Post1”> use normal double quotes like these instead: CODE <a href="#Post1"> (and avoid the software that created the first ones). |

Yep. And there's no point in using an ID if you still use A name="".
