Computer/HTML Coding Help Needed. (working, click, remove, highlight)

[Rathagos]

I'm trying to get the less than sign (<) to show up in my code. But when I look at the page in the browser version, it's not showing up.

I have tried &lt;, I've tried <, I've tried &#x3c; and none display in my browser.

I'm coding through DreamWeaver.

Is there any other code I can use to make the less than symbol appear? I can make the greater than symbol appear just fine. But less than just doesn't display.

Thanks!

I don't know much about this topic but could it be that the code for that symbol has changed? According to this:

List of XML and HTML character entity references - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the code is &le in HTML 4.0

Strange that the greater than symbol appears but the less than symbol does not.

Can you show us the snippet of HTML where you are trying to place the < symbol?

I right-clicked the page and clicked on "View Page Source". I then found your sentence that I highlighted above. Here's what the page source looks like:

I'm trying to get the less than sign ( & l t ; ) to show up in my code.

I put spaces in so the code wouldn't put in the <. The interesting part is that if I remove the spaces the last two characters show as a winking smiley face. >>

So it's working here. The question is why it isn't working for you, and without more info I can't help. You might try posting your code here.

If you're using dreamweaver, add the < sign in the "design" view, not code view.
