How do I link the pages to the menu buttons? I tried giving the ID "index.html" , the URL: "thenameofthecompany.com/index.html" is this correct? Please help me.

Hello Carol,

Usually web designer use relative links when navigating within the same website. In this case url:"index.html" would suffice. You should also add the folder to the url if the page you want to link to is not in the same folder as the page you're on.

If you want to use absolute links you should also throw in the "http://www." before what you wrote (URL: "http://thenameofthecompany.com/index.html").

Here is a link with a bit more detailed view on the absolute/relative links matter: http://www.extropia.com/tutorials/web_design/relative_absolute_links.html

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am having the same problem. I have a menu on my site that is working but I added a page so I needed to add a submenu button. I have tried to look at what I had done before but the information is shortened (../about us/seller services).

I have tried the absolute link but I am getting a 404 error from my web hosting company. I'm out of ideas. I have fought with it for 2 days. Here is what I have tried to use:

http://www.lookeastrealty.net/about us/contact us.html

I have tried it with and without spaced. I tried just ../about us/contact us.html. I'm lost.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Kim,

Please take note that the URL's are case sensitive. Try to insert the address like this: "/About Us/Contact Us.html".

Also, it is best that you don't use spaces in file or folder names. Unix based servers don't accept files with spaces.
