Code Issues

[Barbara]

I'm still stuck in Lesson 4 and the frustration is mounting.  Every time I insert an additional tag as per instructions, it doesn't open correctly in the browser.  As you can see I inserted both the horizontal rule tag and header tag, and it does not open in the browser with a horizontal line nor with the bold header.  It seems like every time I add additional code to the original web page, the additions don't appear.  Please help!!!

Hmm ... at first glance your code looks very clean. Nice job!

... It should work. Can you send a screenshot of what the page renders to?

Are you reopening the browser each time or refreshing (F5) the page after you make changes?

As it turns out, she forgot to save changes to the page. 

.. It happens to me all the time!

Duh!

A couple of things that help me out.

 

CTRL-S is your friend.  Quickly saves the page you are editing.

Sublime also has a plugin called "View In Browser."  A right click on the document or hot-key combo saves your file and opens it in a browser of your choice.

You probably know this, but I will mention this as well.  In the tab where the document name is, there is either a little circle or x to the right of the name.  A quick glance tells you the status.  x=saved, circle=there are unsaved edits on the page.

These save a bit of time as well not having to go to the mouse so much.
