What do you mean, "won't work"?

What browser are you using, and show us the code.

Details help.

clearly something is not following standarts. Ether your browser or your code.

something as simple as this wont work;

code:

<head>
<title>Greetings</title>
</head>

but this will work:

code:

<body>
<p>Greetings</p>
</body>

I've been around the block a few times. Experience helps tremendously in figuring things like this out. I knew no other book that was still on the shelves at any place other than a used book store would teach HTML 4 in the modern XHTML world.

HTML 4 is dead, and what's more, it was dead years ago. But there are still those making every last penny off of it with "QuickStart" books and the like. Kind of like those 3 page guides to learning Visual Basic 6.
