Unit 2, hyperlinks result in blank page from the index.html

We are creating multi-page websites in code unit 2 lesson 13. 2 of my students are experiencing this problem:
The same navigation bar is on every page in their project. The hyperlinks work for all pages except the home page (index.html). The links on the index.html take them to a white screen. Most of my students are NOT experiencing this problem. I thought maybe it was because linking pages isn’t introduced until lesson 19 but that apparently is not the case. Please help!!

This is a linked level … meaning code entered on one activity can carry over to another one. Not sure if that is what is happening, but it’s hard to say unless you can send us a link to the code. If you have them jump ahead to activity 8, the code should be the same on that activity and it should have a share link at the top of the page that you could have them send to you to send to us and we can look at it closer.

@pat.walters,

So a few interesting things. It does work full screen with the link you sent … (you sent the same link twice). However, when I go back into edit mode, I see the problem your students are seeing.

I noticed that on line 22, the last </br> tag has a closing bracket that is pink (usually indicating an error). I’m not sure why, but I see the same thing on some of the other pages as well.

You can do a <br> tag without the forward slash and that is actually preferred in html5. When I removed all of the forward slashes in the <br> tags on that page, everything started working again.

Why it doesn’t throw an error on the other pages, I have no idea, but that does appear to fix the issue.

Good luck!

Mike

Thank you so much, it worked!!
