BUTTONS NOT WORKING
My first button worked just fine but my second to last doesn't. I used document.getElementById("1stlesson").onclick = function () { location.href = "lessons.html"}; I made sure I put the id in the proper place same with the location. Also, I use the same javascript dile for multiple html files. Please help. This project in computer is due tomorrow

Can you put it in Code Playground and link it? Diagnosis is impossible without looking at your code.

Bia Yumol Well, without the code, the only advice I can give is to start diagnosing from a minimal sample.

The code above clearly shows that both buttons are responsive. Try adding stuff according to what you have in your files until the buttons fail, then try to deduce what went wrong. That's how I usually debug my issues.

You must separate JavaScript files for different html files. Otherwise the getElementById will return null and those onclick will raise Exceptions. (Which you should be able to see when you are in console of Developer's tool).
Here are the steps:
Install a proper IDE such as Visual Studio Code which will do the indentations for you.
Restart your project with blank files,
add the listeners one by one.
Switch on Chrome Developer's Tool,
read the console error message.
To post code in Q&A, use code playground.

If you want to hyperlink to another page, use <a href=""> instead.

Another one:
Tags in html must be "nested"
I.e. good:
<div>
<p>one
</p>
</div>
BAD:
<div>
<p>one
</div>
</p>
Clean up your html...
i.e. here
<header>
<body>
<div class="topbar">
<center>
<p>Tutorials</p>
</center>
</header>
</div>
you are closing header before closing div...
and body should be opened first...

Fermi. Problem still persists. However, this is what the Javascript looks like
document.getElementById("tut").onclick = function () {
location.href = "tutorial.html"};
document.getElementById("tutor").onclick = function () {
location.href = "tutorial.html"};
document.getElementById("1stlesson").onclick = function () {
location.href = "lessons.html"};
document.getElementById("back").onclick = function () {
location.href = "HP.html"};
document.getElementById("tut").onclick = function () {
location.href = "tutorial.html"};
document.getElementById("startgame").onclick = function () {
location.href = "quiz.html"};

diego Code I'll try that.....

No... Of course... :)
Look carefuly...
If you have
document.getElementById("back").onclick = function () {
location.href = "HP.html"};
You must have an element with id="back"
A lot of ids are missing in html..

IDK if I can do that considering it's in multiple html files but one js file. Sorry I'm new to this

Is your buttons' onclick listeners inside a
window.onload = function() {
}
block?

Bia Yumol after every
location.href("....");

diego Code not working

diego Code Well, I put that id in another html file... That's why I've been wondering if having one js file for multiple html files is okay tbh

diego Code Since I only have one button working, I got curious a bit and removed the css from the link of the first html file. When I did that, the button completely stopped working. When I brought it back, it didn't work at all anymore.
