Challenge question for using "id" tag as a link keeps rejecting my answer.

Index Page Navigation list . . . . .

<ul> <li><a href="/#portfolio">Portfolio</a></li> </ul> . . . . . Section further down on the page. <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>

I'm using the same coding as the illustrated in the "hints" part of the question. I can't see for the life of me what the problem is. I've got over the videos and they say the same thing. Am I mis interpreting the question or is this is a bug?

Without trying the actual challenge, I suspect the issue is caused by the slash preceding the # and name. A slash is only used for an absolute reference but this one should probably be relative.

Thanks Steve, you are correct. I was getting confused with all those forward slashes and dots.

Correct response is: <ul> <li><a href="#portfolio">Portfolio</a></li> </ul>
