what do i need to add to make it remove the spaces from the name You could use the trim() method: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_trim_string.asp QUOTE and then check to see if the link exists or not? I don't know any easy way to do that with javascript (besides trying to load the page, of course). BTW it's invalid HTML to nest P element inside each other, always close one P before opening another. |

Actually, you don't need to close them since if you don't, the closing tag is implied. But if you do close them you need to do it right.
That said, I also think you *should* close paragraphs, but a validator won't mark it as an error if you don't. The validator will find quite a few errors with the way you've done it though. |

I've never done this myself but I think you could use Javascripts FileReader API to check if the file exists. At least it might be worth looking into.
