October 27, 2006, Newsletter Issue #90: Nesting

Tip of the Week

In order to avoid troubleshooting your code later on, it´s important when learning HTML to focus on nesting. Nesting is the order in which HTML tags are opened, ex. <BODY>, and closed, ex. </BODY>.


The rule is this: First to open is last to close. Here´s an example of improper and then the proper code:


Improper code
<H3><B>This is a Headline</H3></B>


Proper code
<H3><B>This is a Headline</B></H3>


Things can get much more complicated looking than this simple example, but if you remember to close tags in the opposite order than they were opened, you´ll save yourself time troubleshooting.
