HTML tricks of the masters

When browsing the Internet if you see a website doing something you like or are curious on how they did you can view the source code. See document CH000746 for additional information about how to do this.
Your main page should, in one way or another, link to ALL main sub pages. Or links to sub pages, which then links to sub pages.
When making your web page, always create links and image file names in lower case. Most people will be searching for text in lower case and because a file name is going to be case sensitive it will help prevent problems down the road with linking.
If you're making a smaller web page it's ok to place all files: web page, pictures, sounds, etc. in one directory. However, if you plan on making hundreds of different pages with sounds or images, we would recommend that you place these files in different directories or if thousands of pictures think about another server.

When creating links to your sub pages or images, do not put your full URL. Instead type the path location. This makes any future transition easier and for pages with a lot of different links can slightly help load times. To move forward in a folder type: a href="folder/file",  where folder is a sub folder of the directory you're currently in. If you need to move back a folder you'd time a href="../file", where the ../ moves back one directory.
When creating your web page, make it about one topic and extend only upon that one topic. When people are looking up information they're usually only interested about the thing they're looking up, e.g. music, computers, etc. If your page has information about golf, dogs, books, computers, etc. some people may become distracted or think it's about something they're not interested in and leave.
Check the web page for errors.
