href attribute

In this code challenge It says I need to link to "index.html" and this is what I have done but it still says that is wrong. I'm not sure if I am missing something or entered something in wrong.

Hi Daniel Schmid,

Can you paste your code into a comment here on the forum? That will make it much easier for us to figure out what's wrong. :)

The code i have put in is this: 

<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
    <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="Contact.html">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

And the challenge is this: Link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go to “index.html”, About should go to “about.html”, and Contact should go to “contact.html”.

tells me that the Portfolio list item should link to "index.html".

Daniel Schmid. To show your HTML in the forum you need to first type 3 backtick characters, then your HTML code, then 3 more backtick characters.

The back tick character looks like this -- ` -- and is found on the same key as the ~.

Hi Daniel Schmid,

I updated your forum post so that the code will be displayed correctly. You can click the "edit" link to see how it's done in case you need to post code in the future. :)

To answer your question, it looks like the href attribute for contact has its value capitalized. It should be "contact.html" and not "Contact.html" which are technically two different links due to case sensitivity.
