adding a button to a Menu

Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver 5 and I'm having a little trouble adding an addition Menu Button to an existing page.  Push it and it goes to another page on the site.

I copy and pasted, then changed the name and directory to goto the new page.  But, it doesn't go there.  Can anyone help?

"Dog Training" is the button I'm trying to add.

Below is what I've got, everything works except "Dog Training".

Many thanks, in advance.

Thanks for getting back so FAST!

Okay, the Menu Button I'm trying to get to work is labeled "Training Information"  when you push it, it supposed to goto a file named "DogTraining.html.

Thanks again,

You have lower case d & t for your link:

dogtraining.html

BUT the actual page is DogTraining.html (upper case D & T).

Change the link to upper case D & T or change the page name to lower case d & t - so both the link and page name match.

Thanks to: Nancy, Jon, Hans & Ozzie!!

You know, it was late, I was tired. AND, it crossed my mind for a micro second, when I was typing file names.  I have to remember, to pretend that everything is still DOS and has to be lower case.  I've had video problems in the past, when Mr. Gates said, "sure, now you can type 256 letter file names, etc".  Keep 'em to eight.xxx Stupid!

So, that was it. drop the case to all lower and pretend it's 1981.

Thanks, everybody.  And if you ever need any info on electronic, A/V circuit design or problems, ping me.  Maybe I can help. (grin)

If you use the link field in your Properties panel to select pages,  you won't have these problems.

A link to your problem page online would be more productive than code snippets.  When you say DOG TRAINING, I don't see a menu item for that.

Is this it?

<a href="../dogtraining.html">TRAINING<br />

                    INFORMATION</a><br>

When you say it doesn't work, we don't know what that means.  It doesn't work locally?  Or it doesn't respond?  Or perhaps you neglected to upload the dogtraining.html page and you're getting a 404 error?

Hi Pat,

I fear there could be a problem with <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->, BUT at the moment I can see you already realized Nancy's hint!

<a href="dogtraining.html">TRAINING<br />

                    INFORMATION</a><br>

Better safe than sorry!
