I Need HTML help with my Free Republic Profile

I have been trying to "update" my profile in Free Republic this morning.

Now, when I click "ok" it puts all the HTML with NO pictures on my BOOKMARK page.

The follow errors is what I need help with because I do not understand what FR is trying to tell me:

HTML Error Summary

HTML Error Summary
Count	Tag	Attribute	Error	Correction
6	P	STYLE	invalid attribute	remove attribute
The above errors must be corrected before your HTML will be accepted. Try selecting the "HTML - Auto Corrected" option from the Format menu.

I need to know what Count - Tag - Error and Correction means. And what does Attribute mean?????

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. I am stumped.

Are you messing with CSS?

[Cyber Liberty]

Are you trying to link those pictures?

[unixfox]

Show us the code you tried to enter.

[SheLion]

CSS? Never mess with the stuff. heh! Actually, I do not know what CSS IS!

Actually, I have had my profile in there since 2001. With pictures and links, etc. Today, I thought "Well, I need to update my profile." I went in, updated, and when I hit OK, it took me right back to my bookmark page. :(

I am very depressed. I should have left it alone, but I wanted to put the logo for Maine's future Governor in there.

What does "attributes" mean?

It looks to me that you want to post some pics in your profile. Here's what you do for that...

The general case for images is < img src="URLofPicHere" > without the spaces between the "<" and ">".

Example:

< img src="http://www.hostfile.com/home/darlene/sl10.gif" > yields:

It works HERE, but not in my profile. boo hooing..... Hold on, I will get the code for you.

Here I am:

I am the President of Forces Maine (Fight Ordinances and Restrictions to Control and Eliminate Smoking).

FreepMail me if you have questions....

I am also a staunch Republican.

I am an Air Force Dependant. Worked as a SATO Travel Agent at Loring Air Force Base before the government closed it in September of 94. I miss it so much.

For one thing, you need to make your links look like this:

<A href="http://www.freerepublic.com">http://www.freerepublic.com</A>

You should also put a space after your <P> tags.

Yeah, show us your code. Be sure to place a space in each tag so the browser won't interpret it as actual HTML code.

For example, < img src="whatever"> instead of <img src="whatever"> or < a href="whatever">site< /a> instead of <a href="site">site</a>

Betcha wonder how I did that, right? ;-)

[rdb3]

You just did what I did, DallasMike.

[Cyber Liberty]

This looks like it might be a John problem....

[Lady Jag]

I don't see any < IMG SRC="XXX.com" > on your home page source.

[DallasMike]

And do what CyberLiberty said for your picture links. The big thing though is putting in a space after your paragraph tags.

[SheLion]

Oh! I have been posting .gifs and .jpgs for a long time.

[Cyber Liberty]

I dunno, but she's cute....

[SheLion]

This looks like it might be a John problem....

Like as in JOHN ROBINSON???
