 From Wednesday- Hidden Ghost Answer Code

• If you couldn’t get yours to work, download this code, copy and paste it into a new Notepad++ file, and save it under a different name than your other ghost page.

 General Code Trouble-Shooting Steps

1. Re-read (or READ) the instructions in the tutorial or documentation you’re following
2. Get another set of eyes– another classmate, mine. Often others will see things we didn’t notice.
3. Check your code for common errors:
   • Missing things: opening or closing tag, pointy or curly bracket, semi-colon, quotation mark
   • Code in the wrong place: CSS should be inside style tags in head section; JavaScript should be inside script tags in body section or head section
4. Retrace your steps: comment out code– begin with most recent first- and see at what point things were working and then didn’t. If you don’t remember how to create comments in HTML and CSS, Google is your friend- look it up. In some cases, you might want to simply start over by creating a new page but saving your other one so you don’t lose that work. Sometimes a new file helps.
5. Refresh the browser again. Close the browser and relaunch your page again.
