Very basic Links question

I want to put links within a list. I've come up with the following but it doesn't appear to work:

<ul>
<li><a href="biography.html>Biography</a></li>
<li><a href="gallery.html">Gallery</a></li>
</ul>

Help

Sorry - trying to find my way in using HTML, instead of WYSIWYG packages.

Thanks.

Re: Very basic Links question

Looks ok to me, what isn't working exactly? You may just need to add the full URL. Although you should add a title="" to the links as well. Although <li><a href="biography.html>Biography</a></li> is missing a closing quote mark on the link. That would botch things up a bit.

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.foo.com/foo.html" title="This is foo!">Foo Foo!</a></li>
</ul>

You're a star - thank you!

Missing quote was the problem.

I've not come across the title bit, will add it in.

Re: Very basic Links question

You really only need the title attribute if you are using the URL as the displayed text. The title tag is similiar to the ALT tag and describes the link.

Code: Select all
<a href="http://www.webforumz.com">Webforumz</a>
 
vs
 
<a href="http://www.webforumz.com" title="Webforumz">http://www.webforumz.com</a>
Using the URL as the displayed text is used for various reasons. The main being if the page needs to function when printed.
