Does anyone know how to do this? Edit the navigation link for Home to navigate to the index.html.

I am doing project-1 Techdegree front end development course. I am not able to understand what that above question means. I did the following but nothing happens in the browser.

      <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
      <li><a href="#experience">Experience</a></li>

Please help...

What you are asking for is information on File Path Notation.

The href attribute takes a file/url as a value, so that the link itself can reference the value and send you somewhere.

The li that contains the text Home is referencing index.html as the "url."

Inside of your local folder (or workspace) your index.html file should be accessible from the root folder, and if the html you provided is code directly from index.html, then the browser should do nothing at all as it is referencing itself.

In the even that your code is from, say, the contact.html file. Then index.html's href value should look a little different ONLY if contact.html is inside of a different directory(folder). It is likely though that all of your pages will stay within the root directory and filepath notation will not be relevant at this time.

<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="experience.html">Experience</a></li>

Thanx Cory. I was thinking the same thing. I have done the same thing that you said with my experience list. I have a new page for it. The thing is that question was asked in the project and I am unable to understand of what they mean by that. Thank you again for your reply
