Build a Simple PHP Application: Creating the Menu and Footer - link issues

I can't get any of my php pages to link to the index. I have everything structured and formatted exactly as they appear in the videos, but when I load the index in my browser and click on one of the links, the url just appears "localhost/#".

I've used Firebug (in Firefox) and the links appear to be empty, but I've resaved an reloaded my php files several times. I've tried all of the following:

 <li class="contact"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
 <li class="contact"><a href="/contact.php">Contact</a></li>
 <li class="contact"><a href="localhost/contact.php">Contact</a></li>
  <li class="contact"><a href="htdocs/contact.php">Contact</a></li>

None will link. I've triple checked that my files are named correctly. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Everything else is working, I just can't link to my contact page. I can pull up the files in the browser with localhost/contact.php and localhost/shirts.php

Now that I've gotten into the variable section, this just suddenly started working. Still very confused as to why there was an issue, but at least I have a functioning site now.
