Andrea Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Have you created those pages and saved them in the same directory as your index page - minus the services.html page which needs to be in a folder called 'services' inside the folder that holds your index page.

Susie Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 And aside from what Andrea mentioned, I noticed a mistake in your code. You need to close the opening <li> tags. <li<a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li<a href="services/services.html">Service</a></li> <li<a href="construction.html">Construction</a></li> <li<a href="askbuck.html">Ask Buck</a></li> <li<a href="makeapointment.html">Make an Appointment</a></li> <li<a href="bucksgaurentee.html">Buck's Guarantee</a></li> <li<a href="gogreen.html">Go Green</a></li> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 So your index.html and all the other pages are directly on your desktop - no subfolders there that some of them may be in? Have you verified that you actually HAVE a file called page2.html? Will that open when you go to it directly via your Browser and File - Open? Check the file name - they are case sensitive.

buck Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 yes they are on my desk top and i right clicked on the files copyed them and pasted the file names into the href. is there something wrong with the way i have my page set up.

Andrea Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 And they open directly via your browser? Your code looks fine - the closing html tag is missing, but that may just not have copied over - and wouldn't keep the pages from opening. This: <a href="page2.html">Service</a> is the correct code to link from one page to a page called page2.html assuming it's in the SAME directory. So if your index.html is directly on your desktop, your page2.html has to be there, two. There are only 3 reasons why this would not work: the page does not exist. The file name is misspelled. the file is in a different directory - aka - the path is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 we i couldn't get my stuff to link together so i down loaded a template web sight and right clicked the base page to make a copy and i tried to link them together. i left every thing on my desk top and i still cant make it work. is there some kind of softwear that i need to git to make it work?

Andrea Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 No, you do not need any special software - that's all inside the HMTL you are writing. Again - have opened your browser window, gone to File - Open File - and made your way to the pages you are trying to open? Once you opened them that way - post the URL if gives you in your browser's address bar - for example: file:///C:/Users/Andrea/Desktop/willi.html --- How does this look like on your end once you opened page2.html ?
