5,974 PointsHenry, I implemented your solution exactly but the instructional software is still refusing to accept it.
David Shoup
5,974 PointsYou were correct, Henry. Thanks.
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 PointsDavid,
This above solution that Henry posted works...
Try either updating out of date web browsers, switching browsers, or clearing your cache, or sometihng along those lines...

10,288 PointsMake sure you are not missing back slashes in closing tags, make sure all tags are closed. make sure you are working in side the header tag. when you code you need to be very careful from the small mistakes, the computer will do exactly what you ask from it.
David Shoup
5,974 PointsAll very good points, but I believe the instruction software is jacked up.
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 PointsThe instruction software is not jacked up my friend. You are typing it wrong...

5,974 PointsYour answer was quite correct, Lush. Thanks for all the help.

14,044 PointsWoot! Finally!! Lol, glad we got you through it man...

5,974 PointsI am on the same exercise, but I am on Question 3 (!!!) instead of Question 1 (!).
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 PointsOk, well show us the code, and we will get you past it!
Henry Remache
11,005 Pointsi did all 3 questions if you dont show your code we cannot help you

5,974 PointsHere is the error message: "Bummer! The Portfolio list item should link to "index.html". Here is the HTML:
```<header>```
```<a href="index.html">Portfolio</a>```
```<nav>```
```<ul>```
```<li href="/index.html">Portfolio</li>```
```<li href="/about.html">About</li>```
```<li href="/contact.html">Contact</li>```
```</ul>```
```</nav>```
```<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>```
```<h2>Designer</h2>```
There was some ambiguity in the exercise by already having an index.html at the header level. The exercise asked for three li's in a ul for the student.
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 Pointsthere is no href attribute for an li. it is for the a attribute
it has to be like
<li><a href=""></a></li>
the li does not have any attributes associated with it...
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 Pointsand unless otherwise noted (like if you need to go into another area of a project folder, for example), you do not need to use the backslash when entering your value into the href...

5,974 PointsLush, I implemented your solution with no success.
Lush Sleutsky
14,044 PointsDavid,
You really need to post your code dude. You will not make it far here without learning how follow the instructions and how to utilize the forums properly.
No offense intended whatsoever, but you were blaming the software of Treehouse, when you had a "href" attribute associated with an "li" element. A "href" goes with the "a" element, which tells the anchor tag where to link to. All those "index.html" and "contact.html" belong in this:
<ul>
<li><a href="Contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
I am not trying to be rude or anything, but you are not helping us to help you. People here can help you, but you need to follow the instructions in order to get that help, rather than blame the software or want to e-mail the staff. Everything here works near flawlessly, as long as you have the correct syntax, and utilize the proper markup...

14,044 PointsAre you still stuck on the same exercise that you were asking for help for in the other thread that you left? PLEASE post your code in here so we can help you. Again, press the backtick button 3 times (the button directly to the left of the number 1), then spacebar, then write html next to it, then press Enter, then write your code how you would in a text edtior (<p>My Code</p>), then press Enter again, then press the backtick button 3 more times (the button directly to the left of the number 1), and then submit the question here to the forum. The MARKDOWN CHEATSHEET directly below the response box shows you how to post code to the forums. It's so super duper easy, David. Just do it so we can help you, instead of getting frustrated and e-mailing the staff, and waiting for a response, when you can get a response right here, right now...
