Mistakes and How to Make Them

This is an example of a document containing two links, the first one of which has a missing quotation mark. As you can see, the link appears to display correctly, but only one link displays and, when clicked, does not load the document correctly. Both Netscape and Internet Explorer will display the URL for the link in the status bar at the bottom of the window when your mouse-pointer is directly over the link. If you look in the status bar of your browser window while holding your cursor over the link in the first example it will give you a very clear idea of why the document doesn't load correctly.

Note the missing quotation mark after the end of the first relative address

Pass your cursor over the "link" above and look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser window. Observe the "URI" displayed there for an obvious indication of why this "link" won't work correctly.
