How Important is a Slash?

No this has nothing to do with music but does have something to do with our website!

Spare a moment of thought for your poor MD who is also web designer, builder, admin, etc. and has to maintain the website to make your rehearsal life easier.  He maintains the 'music practice' page with the up to date music schedule and rehearsal pieces.

For those in the know, the dark art of HTML and CSS can be very unforgiving on times, especially when you need to present some information on a website in a table format.  Our practice music page has a few tables detailing the music and links to rehearsal tracks etc.  Creating the tables in a drag and drop web designer app link Weebly is sort of do-able, but it is not easy and can be very convoluted and complex,  so from time to time you simply have to roll your sleeves  up and write some HTML / CSS code!

That is all well and good until you realise there is a problem and then spend days trying to find it and fix it.  It can be frustrating because as any good coder knows you don't write new code each time you simply copy and adapt!

So, one table should be the same as another right?  Well obviously something went wrong with one of the tables because the table appeared in the wrong location on the website.

Web admin got so frustrated he simply rebuilt the page the 'practice' page to try and find the problem, and finally established the problem was in the hand written code associated with one of the tables.

The problem was simply a missing slash '/' from the last line of the code.  Doh! 

So if you were ever wondering what your MD 'slash' Web admin does with his time.....
