Some people were telling me that I had my wording wrong. I said for example
"An html page is made up of tags" I have since changed the wording to talk
about elements and stuff. Can you guys take a look at the wording and see if
I'm more on track with the html 4.0 specifation now? Thanks to you guys I've
changed alot of things with the site thus far and it keeps getting better.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions thanks,
Adam

I also wanted to let you guys know that I've since added the links section
and I'm almost done with the images section. Let me know what you think and
as always give me some suggestions cause unless it's perfect it can always
be improved on:)
Thanks,
Adam

An element include the element name and it's attributes (if any) in the
opening tag, content (if any), followed by a closing tag. containing
only the element name. Tags, however, are just the words between < and
>. Therefore, you are much better of describing elements than tags.

You still haven't fixed the mailto: error.

Regards,
Geoff

You should regex your email cgi form so that a user can't submit an
empty form. This will probably need a bit of work, but something you
could quickly throw in there is:

if ($email =~
/^([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+((\.?)([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+)*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9
_-])+/ && $name != "") {
#submit...
}

Geoff
