CSS How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Build the Contact Page

I copied and pasted the About page, but the Index page displays including the selected unordered list.

I copied and pasted the about page as instructed in the video, but the Index page displays instead. I tried changing the selected to Contact, but it does not display on the preview (Firefox). This is the address it claims to be showing: http://port-80-fx0wyhsk88.treehouse-app.com/contact.html.

This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">

  </head>
  <body>

I solved it. It was an issue with a Firefox plug-in.

Maybe I'm not understanding your issue. It all looks to be working. The links change color when hovered over and stay that color once you are on that page. All the pages look different, I see no duplicates.

Did I miss something?

Yes. I just tested in Explorer and it works fine. In Firefox, I clicked preview of the contact page and it displayed the index only. I clicked on the contact link in the menu and it did not change to Contact. But when I did the same in Explorer, it worked fine. It seems to be a Firefox bug. I will test in Chrome now.

Odd, I am using firefox myself. Although I don't know the version.

Chrome works fine as well.
