It would be best if I could see your code, can you share your code? If I had to guess on what was wrong I would say that maybe you linked it to the wrong file (possibly the wrong folder as well) or you spelled something wrong.

I'd have to agree with Tim Trott. Though, I'd also check for punctuation that may have been left off, such as a quotation mark or equals sign.

You probably left the href attribute of the anchor tag blank or it is typed incorrectly (<a href="").

But yes, a share of the code would be much better to point the problem.

Yeah, it's probably something with the <a href="#">Your Page</a>

If you mean that you are previewing your index.html page by dragging it into your internet browser window, then yes you won't be able to click on your navigation links to get to the other pages of your site.

To preview those other pages of your site you will need to also drag those files into your internet browser window. You won't be able to navigate to your other pages via the nav links until you've FTP'd (uploaded) your site to the actual internet.
