I was trying something the page worked OK but I got a couple of shorttag yes warnings, after reading some stuff online I got the feeling the trailing slash was to be removed, well I tried it, but it made no difference
here is one incidence of the error <a href="/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Website/image/5050redon.png"<a> Please tell me what is wrong in clear concise terms, I just want to avoid this in the future. R |

Don't worry about the "shorttag yes". That has to do with how the HTML markup is set up at the basis behind the scenes.
What you mainly need to understand is that most tags go in pairs, such as the A tag: <a href="path/to/file">link</a> See the FAQ at http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/links.html#link-howto -------------------- "The earth does not belong to Man, it is Man who belongs to the earth"

And tags always start with "<" and ends with ">".
You have a start tag without the closing bracket HTML <a href="/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Website/image/5050redon.png" followed by another start tag instead of an end tag. HTML <a> -------------------- “Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.”
