<h2 id="skip">How to Provide Feedback</h2>

<dl>
  <dt>If your page doesn't validate, and you don't know why, or
      you have a question about
      <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
      or validation</dt>
  <dd>
    <p>
      First, check the <strong><a href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/">Web
      authoring frequently asked questions
      (<acronym title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</acronym>)</a></strong>
      to see if your question has been answered there.
    </p>
    <p>
      The two most common problems are:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>Validating pages with &amp;'s in <acronym
      	title="Universal Resource Identifiers">URIs</acronym>:
      see <a
      href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp">Ampersands
      (&amp;'s) in <acronym
      	title="Universal Resource Identifiers">URLs</acronym></a></li>
      <li>Validating pages with JavaScript:
	      see <a
        href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script">Writing
        <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
        in a <code>SCRIPT</code> Element</a></li>
    </ul>

  <p>
    If your problem isn't covered by one of the resources above,
    you can send it to one of the following forums:
  </p>

  <ul>
    <li><code><a href="news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html">Usenet
    newsgroup: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html</a></code></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.hwg.org/"><acronym
    	title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym> Writers Guild</a>
    	<a title="HTML Writers Guild Mailing Lists"
		    href="http://www.hwg.org/lists/">mailing lists</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>
    Each of these forums have plenty of experienced <acronym
    	title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</acronym>
		authors who are willing to share their expertise. (If you are
		commenting on a specific page, be sure to provide a
		<acronym title="Universal Resource Locator">URL</acronym>
		when you ask your question!)
