Trying to edit my pet's homepage

[Viridian]

Hey! I'm trying to edit my pets homepage and put some links in (to places in Neopia) but it seems that it doesn't work. I got the code from someone else's petpage... Example:

 

<div id="navigation">
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/>Neopets</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/myaccount.phtml>My account</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/petcentral.phtml>pet central</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/objects.phtml>shops</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/explore.phtml>explore</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/games/arcade.phtml>games</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml>news</a>
<a  -disallowed_word- ttp://ncmall.neopets.com/shop.phtml>nc mall</a>
</div>

 

I know that the disallowed word is apparently href=... But I am honestly wondering why?

I know why :)

 

Be sure to use full quotation marks around all your links

 

example:

 

<a href="http://www.neopets.com/">This is a link</a>

This happened to me too. Check to make sure you have the quotation marks and you didn't leave any extra spaces, just like in Xepha's example. The code filters are really picky about stuff like that now.

[Viridian]

Haha understood. I always use full quotations when writing the links out myself, I guess I should do that from now on :)

 

Thanks a lot.

In fact, when writing HTML, you should always quote all your attributes. It's good coding practice (and in fact it's mandatory in well-formed XML). :yes:

 

But you probably know this already. xD

[Viridian]

Yeah I knew that.. I just copy pasted it from a petpage, at least assuming that they would do that, too :P

Yeah happens 2 me 2 a lot of times.

 

Always have to check the whole code, which is quite a pitty!
