Alright, thank you! It should actually work like this. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? That could be a possible reason for the problem.

Could you share a snapshot of your workspace with us? Follow the instructions on this link to make a snapshot of your workspace.

Make sure that 'about.html' is spelled the exact same as the URL you are directing it to - case-sensitive. Perhaps that would help.

Everything in there looks fine... are you doing this in workspaces or did you download the project files and working on it locally?

I'm only asking because perhaps the problem is that the about.html files isn't in the same directory as your index.html and thus the path isn't working properly.

Please check WHERE the about.html file is and if it's not in a different folder.

Cheers,

Hey Huck,

I already checked the workspace of this course and if the file structure wasn't changed the about.html should be in the same folder. But a snapshot of the workspace would definitely help to see what the problem could be.

Heya Tobias Helmrich ,

Yeah, I mean, I know it's set up that way but I thought she might be doing it locally in which case, frequent problem... buuuut even if it were in the workspace, we've all seen enough "oh, ooops, I accidentially deleted *page/document* from my workspace" and "*HALP!! I deleted the index.html from my workspace how do I get it back pls??&#42" around here that I've started to immediately factor that into a possible solution :laughing:

Good job on the caching issue. I'll remember that.

Cheers,

Huck - :sunglasses:

You're absolutely right! I was just thinking about workspaces the whole time when I commented here and completely forgot about the local part you mentioned which could've caused the problem as well. :) Oh and about the workspaces: Yes, it was also suspicious to me so I wanted to have the snapshot to make sure everything is alright there! :)

yeyyyyyy its working i did what you said cleared my history then checked again and it working thanks guys for your help really appreciated thanks again :)))))
