Notepad++ Debugging

Joey Cummens

So I’m new to HTML, CSS and Javascript and my first we page I’m developing won’t compile and I don’t know why. Does “Notepad++” support debugging? If so, how?

Thank you.

Not really … but it helps a lot with syntax highlighting

if you have this:

<html>

</html>

And klick on the closing tag, it shows you also the starting tag. This is very helpfull.

Also on typos
<html> </htm>
it shows the valid starting tag in a different color as the invalid closing tag

Or if you have nested brackets

@media (max-height: 400px) {
.my_class {

}

Just klick on one bracket and it shows you the counterpart
For debugging try Firebug and
https://validator.w3.org/ (html)
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (CSS)

Thank you. I’ll try firebug. I used it before but not for debugging.

I’m back and have a question regarding the CSS validation link: is there a “more detail” section? I have a parsing error on lines 1 and 3 and it gives me the vaguest details.

Here they are:

Value Error : background Parse Error C:\Users\Baba\Desktop\Portfolio\Sonic Mania\Images\Title), width=“1020”, height=“840”

These are not Notepad++ - related questions. As this is a “Notepad++ Community”, we focus on Notepad++ issues here, not HTML, not CSS, etc. Please find a more suitable forum to ask those types of questions. Also, Google is very tolerant. :)

Thank you. I’d do that. Apologies for derailing the topic. I always do that for some reason. Thanks again.
