Help with broken html

8 years 6 months ago
#65400
Greetings friends! I've just taken on the responsibility of crafting our web page for our Toastmasters group and I've made a mistake. While testing the scope of the html in the basic freetoasthost webpage I unwittingly set a css "<style>" for ALL of the available "<a>" links to reference "#null" (I was following a tutorial from a book and looking to create invisible page elements that appeared when links were hovered. I though my <style> would be limited to elements of the embedded webpage, this was not the case). Since the <a> links now all lead to #null, particularly the link to "[edit page]" I cannot access the page source to change it back to its original text because it requires for me to press an <a> link to get there (yes the irony is deafening, how appalling). How do I access the page source to change it back now that I've disabled my link to reach the page source?

Just enter the web page address of a different page (e.g., the directions page) in browser address box, then press enter. Do not use a link.

It is likely you put the style block in the html for the home page. That is why the above approach works.

Thank you so much! By navigating to 'Meet Our Members' I was able to access the source for the 'Homepage' and restore it to function. Much appreciated.
