I'm trying to build my first website from scratch. I mocked up the design in Photoshop, and have been trying to convert into code for a few hours. But I haven't got far. In fact, I'm stuck on the header's navigation bar.
It looks right, but it doesn't work. I'm using an unordered-inline
list, and trying to link different rectangles in the header. I can't click on anything in the header, though.
The code for the html and css files, and a mockup of the header, are below. Any advice on why the header bar isn't working would be much appreciated.
Here's a link to the image: http://rookery9.aviary.com.s3.amazonaws.com/3961000/3961027_eb89_625x625.jpg
*Ideally, you would be able to click on either "".
