it says my answer is wrong but it is not

It says to write my answer as "index.html" and that is exactly what I have written and it still says it is wrong? I don't understand.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html"></a>Portfolio</li>
          <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>

    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Your answer is indeed wrong.

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

Your anchor tags (a tags) dont contain anything. So none of the list items "Portfolio", "About" and "Contact" will link anywhere. You need to close the anchor tags after the text. Here is the correct answer:

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

The closing anchor tag should be after the portfolio. can you try like this one below.

            <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>
