Hi! I’m new here so I hope I’m posting this in the right area 
So i’m a student currently taking a course in html:web design online and I’m having issues with my assignments,
After I complete the assignments, my professor tells me that many things are wrong with the assignments, so I fix them and again think the assignment is fine but he still says they’re are problems. 
I’d really appreciate it if someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks 
You’re not giving us enough information to work off of. We’d need to see
- the assignments
- what you’ve turned in
- what the professor says you’re doing wrong
There may be a number of things going on: not understanding the assignments, changes in standards and methods, misuse of technologies, etc. But without seeing what you’re doing, we can’t provide any guidance.

Hi! and thanks yea I actually meant to upload them but my assignment is in a RAR file so I had upload it on mediafire
My assignment: http://www.mediafire.com/file/aimxagu7hsdxgks/My+site+FPP4.rar
The professors response: This is not what i would call partially complete. Partially complete means that of the tags used they were properly opened and closed. You should have used wireframes header, nav, main, and, footer tags. That the navigation menus look and feel are the same no matter what pages you go to . That you use a CSS external file. And use the name of the web pages given in FPP3 and FFp2.
He’s allowing me to re-due so I want to make sure that i’m doing it currently this time.
Not that I do not trust you but I am not happy downloading your file.
Anyway most browsers have a “developers tools options” you can use to check your page and there must be some online checkers. You could also use the Firefox developers browser.

Yeah, please put them somewhere that’s not in a compressed format so that we don’t have to download and decompress from a source that we don’t know.
You could use a free site service or load the code into codepen or something similar…
@Rubble @DaveMaxwell I completely understand not wanting to download the file 
So i realized instead I can just upload a screenshot of my html info for each part of the site. There a more pages than this so these are just the first 4.
Also if you dont mind can you send a link of one of those sites you mentioned? I cant seem to find one.
Thanks again :))
One tool to become acquainted with is the W3C validator https://validator.w3.org/nu/
It will help you find any errors.

@Gandalf Thanks! I’m having a bit of trouble understanding some of the error messages:
Error: Element head is missing a required instance of child element title.
Error: Stray start tag html.
These should be pretty straightforward as they are fundamental.
This means you don’t have a title element inside the head element.
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the title.</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This means you need a closing html tag (the last element tag in the example above. You’re missing it.

I fixed it but I keep getting the same error sadly I don’t know what I’m doing wrong :((
Also its seems that none of these errors the program is reading, has to do with what the problems my professor said were so I’m not sure what the professor wants me to fix because I don’t see any errors regarding that.
One of the things your professor said was to use an external style sheet rather than internal styles. Can you fix that?
@Gandalf I’m sorry I’m a newb at this, just to be clear external style sheets are CSS files? correct?
so a separate kind of file?
Correct. So all your styles are in one place. If you change a style, you don’t have to go through every page changing it, you just change it once
Ah i see thanks! I fixed that part of the assignment, as for the other part
“You should have used wireframes header, nav, main, and, footer tags.” but i’m confused because I do have those tags.
Hi there AquaSoul11,
here you go, try this…

…it should give your “professor” a warm glow.

Thanks, but i’m sorry what does the file contain? It was brought to my attention that I probably shouldnt download files that are compressed.
Nope, nothing to do with files which are compressed. It was more the case that you shouldn’t download files from unknown sources.
Coothead is a known source, however (click on his avatar). I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you look at what he is offering.
@coothead @James_Hibbard
I see thanks! i’m downloading it 
Hi there AquaSoul11,
It contains the files that you uploaded to “mediafire.com”,
corrected and validated.
It is as safe to download as the one that you uploaded.
