Won’t show the text

Posted 05 February 2013 - 05:49 PM

I am having trouble with my html file. The page won’t show paragraph, bullet, or list (<p><ul><ol>). Any suggestions?

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>

	<style type"text/css">
	h1 {color:#7FFF00;
	font-family:arial;
	text-align:center;}
	p {line-height:130;
	text-indent:25px;}
	ul {font-weight:bold;}
	ol {font-style:italic;}
	body {background-color:yellow;}
	<!--color:white; (this would make all text white-->
	
	</style>
<!--h1 is what we are dealing with, we are changing color to blue, and chaning font to arial, makes text centered  -->
<!--p makes space between text 130%-->
<!--ul is bold-->
<!--ol is italic-->


</head>

<body>
<h1>My First Website</h1>
<p> this is paragraph text this is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph texthis is paragraph tex</p>
	<ul>
		<li>unordered list</li>
	</ul>
	<ol>
		<li> ordered list</li>
	</ol>
</body>
</html>




Thank you,

You need the equals sign in your script tags :

<style type="text/css">

You are not closing out your css element tags 
h1 {
 color: #fff;
} <- Every element needs to be closed out


And some of the tags you don't have an opening brace either. Try formatting your code like I did above until you are comfortable with it.

Disregard my post. You have correct syntax. I overlooked it since it was not indented. :hehe:

Well, I thought so too but on close observation you see that the tags are closed in a later line.

Well, to avoid such confusion, I would suggest something like this...

h1 {
      color:#7FFF00;
      font-family:arial;
      text-align:center;
    }


So, in this way, there won't be any confusion, also it will enhance the readability of the program.

regards,
Raghav

Well, shouldn't it be "You need the equals sign in your script style tags "

Script tag has format like this.
<script type="text/javascript">

For starters, CSS lines are outcommented by means of /* */, not <!-- -->. So chances are that your text is shown, only in white...

Even if the comment code was ignored, color:white; is not in an element block so it wouldn't do anything. Technically you can comment using the HTML method, but nothing below it will be processed.
