I'm doin an online course in XHTML, and part of our assignment is to apply the preformatted tag. Unfortunately, it's not showing on my page. Why is that? The page link is http://www.geocities.com/kkisie2000/horizontal.htm

Thanx

An online course from where? I can't believe any self respecting code monkey would teach you to code a page like this.

Your page validates or more correctly doesn't, with 26 errors.

For starters, nothing but nothing should come before the DOCTYPE definition. Unless of course you have some php code that is removed by the server side processing but I don't thnk you are anywhere near that yet.

Code it properly and you might be in with a chance.

Calm down, lets give him the advice he has requested.

Remove everything else from the page and add the following to see if your <pre> tag is being effected.

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>Preformat Text</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<pre>

o
 n
  c
   e

</pre>
</body>
</html>
