can you please post the code and eventually also tell us which video you are talking about in particular? :)

- check the syntax of the <a href> and make sure everything is spelled correctly
- check that your about.html is in the same folder as your index.html (or you need to make sure to use the relative folder structure in your link)
- check if your about.html is name about.html and not About.html. These things are case sensitive and you want to make sure to spell them correctly.

31,602 PointsLike Falk already expected correctly the mistake is that you wrote About.html (and also Contact.html) in uppercase. However the files are case sensitive so About.html is something different than about.html.
If you write
<li><a href="about.html" class="selected">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
it should work. Good luck! :)

Courses Plus Student 486 Pointsi change the letters still doesn't work this is the msg i get when i click on about page The requested URL /About.html was not found on this server.
Tobias Helmrich
31,602 PointsBut the error message indicates that you didn't change it correctly because it still says "About.html". Are you sure you changed this part href="about.html" and refreshed the page afterwards?
