  2. The following is a list of common HTML mark up mistakes. Whether you are a beginner, web designer, or a programmer etc, try to avoid these mistakes. 1. Don’t Use Line Breaks To Show A List If you want to show a list of things in bulleted or numbered order, never use line breaks. Use unordered list <ul> or ordered list <ol> tags for this purpose. Like this. <ol> <li>Steve Jobs</li> <li>Bill Gates</li> <li>Linus Torvalds</li> </ol> 2. Structure the Page Correctly With Proper Tags A <div> can work the same as a <span> or a <p> tag but it is important to understand which one is to be used where. These are just examples. There are many others like the <link> tag and the <a> tag. Once you know the difference you'll know which one should be used at a particular part of the page.

For example HTML => <h2>Right</h2> CSS => h2 .red{color: red;} 4. Avoid Using Deprecated Elements Most of the web designer and web developer use some old HTML tags and attributes today, which have been declared deprecated by W3C consortium. Although modern browsers still support them, they might not in the future. 5. Never use <blink> or <marquee> According to W3C consortium, these tags have never been included in the official HTML standard. Along with this, their use is considered unprofessional and unimpressive. If you need to draw attention to a certain part of your document, use an alternative approach in a less offensive manner.

Otherwise, you may have to sit on your system to go through a thousand lines of code and even then you might not spot the problem. Always be professional. 7. Forget To Use Alt Attribute for Image Tags The ALT attribute is considered as required one for IMG tags, it describes the context of the image. It assist web crawler to index your contents better.
