Testing was carried out on the following browsers - Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
One error was found when testing, in relation to the width of the map.
After learning how to add a map through the Coders Coffeehouse project, I decided to leave the width as it was.
One error was found when passing through the official (Jigsaw) validator. This is a parse error on line 341 which I was unable to delete.
