    Andrea,

    I've copied your version and will compare it to mine. I thought I was being very careful of the upper and lower case wording. Time for a break and dinner. Thanks for your help - and everyone else's.

    I've created an index.html page here: http://www.aandbwebdesign.com/misc/index.html (that's exactly your code) and a page1.html. Both work. So we know your code is correct.

     

    You still haven't described what it is you're doing/trying to do/getting, as I asked earlier.

     

    Based on what we know - that the code's working - and don't know (see one line up) the only things wrong can be your file names - check for exact spelling and don't forget about the case sensitivity issue Ben has already mentioned - Page1.html is NOT the same as page1.html or Page1.HTML - the case has to be the exact same in your file name and your html.

    When I try the test folder with File1 and File 2 inside, each come up with their heading and a link. When I click on the link I just get an error that says "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Webpage".

     

    Can you be more precise- you say "It shows up like it's supposed to" - what does? And then what do you do? And what exactly happens/doesn't happen?

    Hi,

    Actually, none of the pages work. I have it the way you said it should be in pages 1-3. The video says that on the index page you can just put "Home" like in the example below. Should I change the index (home) page too?

     

    It's just that when I tried to link my pages to the index page' date=' nothing happened.[/quote']It sounds like Errc had the answer - that's assuming the ohter pages work, just your index/ home page does not. And that's because there is NO Link (what Eric called the anchor) - the part of the code that starts with

     

     

    Home

     

     

    Should look like this:

    Hi, I got the same results. It shows up like it is supposed to, but it doesn't go anywhere. I just get the Internet error again.

     

    How about we try a test then...

     

    -- Create a new folder on your desktop. You can call it anything you like.

    -- Within that new folder, create two files: file1.html and file2.html.

     

    Edit file1.html so it has these contents:

     

    File 1Go to file2.html

     

    Edit file2.html so it has these contents:

     

    File 2Go to file1.html

     

    -- Now open file1.html with your web browser. You should see a large black header that says "File 1" and a link to the second file.

    -- Click the link

    -- Your web browser should take you to the second file (the headers should say "File 2").

     

    Can you test that, and let me know if that works for you?

    I felt like I understood the video fine and that it was easy to understand. It's just that when I tried to link my pages to the index page, nothing happened. I went back and looked and started over again with the same results. I've got to be doing something wrong someplace. I copied and pasted the navigation links into the individual page1.html .... pages and retitled each page so that it read the same. Hmm....

     

    I followed the video through last night and again today, and I still don't get it.

    Are you talking about the linking issue, or something else?

     

    I haven't a clue what an anchor is.

    Eric was just meaning that you don't have any "" on "Home" section in your code. That shouldn't have any effect on your other links working/not working though.

    OK - I'm lost. I've tried looking at it again. My index.html, page1.html, page2.html, and page3.html pages are all separate pages on my desk top. I followed the video through last night and again today, and I still don't get it. I haven't a clue what an anchor is. Help?

     

     

    page1.html-page3.html are on my desktop

     

    I get an Internet Explorer Cannot Display the WebPage

     

    Nothing happens, or you get a "page can't be found" error?

     

    The code itself looks fine... are your home page and page1.html - page4.html all in the same folder?

    Hi, I'm having trouble with the beginning web design. I have a index page that I can't seem to link to my three practice pages. Here is the code I am using in the index page. I copied it to the other three pages. When I go to open the link in the index.html page--nothing happens. Can you help?

    Thanks...
