- you need an end carrot after the html code...for example... <a href="http://blahhhh.com">TEXT HERE</a>
- After the first, "<a" you forgot the >. It should be <a>
- The website address needs to be complete, other than that, it is fully functional.
- you need to start it with http:// you know that right? Plus some url's are just stupid they don't work and no one knows why
- The </b> is in front of the </center>. the order in which the closing tags appear is wrong.
- other than most of it should be done with css you need to close the tags in the reverse order you opened them, also you shouldn't open font tag three times...it's bad form. put it all in one tag :) so it should be </font></center></b></a> Also the font color should only have 1 # not 2
- for one thing, you have 3 <font> tags, you only need <font face="arial" color="#0000ff" size="4"> If that's not it, how exactly doesn't it work?
- First of all, it could be because you have two numbers symbols before the hex color. Also... right after the href=... the quotation mark is different then the rest of them. When copying code, the quotation marks can be altered, but the computer only likes certain ones. Just delete that quote and put a regular one.
- The tags are in the wrong order. It should be: <b><center> <font face="arial" color="#0000FF" size="4"> <a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/ebayIS..."> PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VARIETY OF LISTINGS FOR MORE ITEMS </a></font></center></b> You should also use CSS for most of this stuff too.
- I'm going to presume that the remainder of the URL was blanked by Yahoo!, and that the opening <a> tag is actually complete. This fragment has a problem with the order in which your tags are nested. Also, the value for the "color" attribute should only have a single hash ('#') character. Doing it like this: <center><a href="your link here"><font face="Arial" color="#0000FF" size=4><b>Please see my other listings</b></font></a></center> should fix your problem.
- <p><font face="Arial"><FONT COLOR="##0000FF"><font size=4><center><b> <a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI....">PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VARIETY OF LISTINGS FOR MORE ITEMS</a></b></center></font></p>
- Assuming the address you are trying to open is correct, 1. You're using deprecated tags. 2. Your tags are being closed in the wrong order. 3. You are opening 3 font tags, but only closing 1 of them. 4. Your font color should have only one '#' character. Try this - <a href="http://..." style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; color: #0000ff; font-size:medium; font-style: bold; text-align: center;"> Your text here </a> It is usually helpful to run your markup through the w3c validator. http://validator.w3.org/
- you need to close the <a href.. by putting a double quotation mark (") after the link.. and >. And also you have 3 <font .. so u need 3 </font>. Anyway, the font formatiing can be put together. I'd do it this way: <center><b><a href="link here"><font face ="Arial" size=4 color="#0000FF">PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VARIETY OF LISTINGS FOR MORE ITEMS</font></a></b></center> Btw, you might want to make the text in normal capitalization. it looks like you're shouting to whoever is reading the text. Just a suggestion, though.
- You didn't close the a href tag. It looks like this: <a href=”http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/ebayIS... <b> You need to end the a href tag by getting the full URI and putting it in. It SHOULD look like this: <a href="URI HERE"><b><center><font face="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><font size="4"> PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VARIETY OF LISTINGS FOR MORE ITEMS </b></center></font></a> There was a couple more oopsies, so refer to the correct code I gave you.
