Having trouble linking between new pages

Community

I am using Windows 7. Here are the three pages that I created using Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS 2nd edition. For some weird reason, only the Home page seems to be working.

<head>
<title>About Bubble Under: who we are; what this site is for</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"content=“text/html; charset=utf-8”/>
</head>

&lt;body&gt;
	&lt;div id="header"&gt;
		&lt;div id="sitebranding"&gt;

			&lt;h1&gt;BubbleUnder.com&lt;/h1&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		
		&lt;/div id="tagline"&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;Diving club for the south-west UK-let's make a splash!&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt; 

	&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!--end of header div --&gt;


	&lt;div id="navigation"&gt;

			&lt;ul&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="index.html"&gt;Home &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="about.html"&gt;About Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="contact.html"&gt;Contact Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				
			&lt;/ul&gt;

	&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end of navigation div --&gt;




	&lt;title&gt;Contact Us at Bubble Under&lt;/title&gt;
	&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type"content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;
	&lt;div id="header"&gt;
		&lt;div id="sitebranding"&gt;	
			&lt;h1&gt;BubbleUnder.com&lt;/h1&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
	
		&lt;div id="tagline"&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;Diving club for the south-west UK-let's make a splash!&lt;/p&gt;

		&lt;/div&gt; 

	&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!--end of header div --&gt;

	&lt;div id="navigation"&gt;

			&lt;ul&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="index.html"&gt;Home &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="about.html"&gt;About Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="contact.html"&gt;Contact Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
				
			&lt;/ul&gt;

	&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- end of navigation div --&gt;

Hi Ryan C, Welcome to SitePoint!

What do you mean by “working”? All the page links and pages seem to be working on your site. Do you need to do a page refresh? Are you viewing online or locally on your desktop?

Hi Ryan C, welcome to the forums,

Don’t tell me you actually got that domain! :eek:

Since that site looks like the “finished product” of the book, I’m guessing SitePoint put it up for an online reference. And your code examples look like you’ve still got a ways to go. So I’m guessing you’re working with localhost.

If you start up your server and make direct HTTP requests for the pages using your browser, do they load OK. No BOM (signature) in the problem files? Spelling and case is correct? They aren’t corrupt?

Oooops! :blush:

I deleted and rewrote the navigation code and it worked. I have been following the book page by page. So to answer your question Mittineague, no, I did not get that domain. Good question though, especially since I am new. Thank you both for the quick replies.

If you are viewing online then check the location of the object on the server.Check if you have inserted the correct path in your php script.

I was also facing one such problem, now I am got the idea from answers here. Thanks for sharing your idea…
