The code could be just a typo;
you may have left off the closing semicolon, for instance. If the code is correct and you??™re using a named
character, however, switch to its decimal equivalent. Some of the earlier browser versions are not perfect in
rendering named characters.
Named characters
HTML coding conventions require that certain characters, including the angle brackets that surround tags,
be entered as character entities. Table 6-4 lists the most common named characters.
TABLE 6-4
Common Named Characters
Named Entity Symbol Description
< < A left angle bracket or the less-than symbol
> > A right angle bracket or the greater-than symbol
& & An ampersand
" ??? A double quotation mark
?° A nonbreaking space
© (c) A copyright symbol
® (r) A registered mark
™ (tm) A trademark symbol, which cannot be previewed in Dreamweaver but is
supported in Internet Explorer
Those characters that you can type directly into Dreamweaver??™s Document window, including
the brackets and the ampersand, are automatically translated into the correct named characters
in HTML. Try this when in split-screen Code and Design view. You can also enter a nonbreaking space in
Dreamweaver by pressing Ctrl+Shift+spacebar (Command+Shift+spacebar) or by choosing the Nonbreaking
Space object.
