HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all run in the web browser. So that means if you have those files locally and open them with Chrome for instance, then they will operate as expected.

Same with me. Some links and images were working fine. However, I had to make changes in the navigation menu of the articles.html since they were giving a page not found.
