You should remove / and just write #portfolio.

Let me explain you why this doesn't work: The HTML <a> tag is used for creating a hyperlink to either another document, or somewhere within the current document. when you want to link to another document according to location of other documents you should use / to accesses that document. for example we have document2.html in documents folder. So we should write:

 <a href="/documents/document2.html">Document 2</a>

but when you want to link to somewhere within the current document you should simply set an id for that that particular part and you have access to it by #. in this case:

<li><a href=#portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>
