I can't add a hyperlink from one page to another. Can anyone help me?

Question

Hey guys! So I created a page, and I want to add the links to other pages on this one.
The text is hyperlinked and my browser seems to think it should be directed to: "filename.html" rather than filename.html and I think this is my problem.
The code that I have added does so in the form of a table and appears like this:
<table border="5">
<tr>
<th>The rest of the blog</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href=”2-MySkills.html” target =”_blank”>My Skills</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href=”3-ALevels.html” target =”_blank”> A Levels</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href=”4-ContactForm.html” target =”_blank”>Contact Form</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href=”5-FollowMe.html” target =”_blank”>Follow Me</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 1

Those are Unicode / word processing double-quotes (commonly found on Macs and apps like Microsoft Office) and not ASCII double-quotes (used by code editors).
Change them to ASCII double quotes (").

$ hexdump -C
”2-MySkills.html” target =”_blank”
00: e2 80 9d 32 2d 4d 79 53 6b 69 6c 6c 73 2e 68 74 |...2-MySkills.ht|
10: 6d 6c e2 80 9d 20 74 61 72 67 65 74 20 3d e2 80 |ml... target =..|
20: 9d 5f 62 6c 61 6e 6b e2 80 9d |._blank...|

--> e2 80 9d : UTF-8 Unicode Right Double Quotation Mark

$ hexdump -C
"2-MySkills.html" target="_blank"
00: 22 32 2d 4d 79 53 6b 69 6c 6c 73 2e 68 74 6d 6c |"2-MySkills.html|
10: 22 20 74 61 72 67 65 74 3d 22 5f 62 6c 61 6e 6b |" target="_blank|
20: 22 |"

--> 22 = decimal 34 = ASCII double quote

Answer 2

Which errors or incorrect behaviours did you see?
Also, what is the location of your "N-Something.html" files (relative to the main page)?

Answer 3

They are all in the same folder, and they look and act like hyperlinks, but the result is: "The page cannot be found - it may be deleted or moved."

Answer 4

Yusurf-Doctor Ahmed Double check the file names. Sometimes we get caught by a letter with different case, a space, etc.
Also, compare the browser address bar contents before and after you click on the links, just to make sure it's going to the right files.

Answer 5

It all adds up, all the file names are spelt correctly even counting the cases.
The only difference is when I look at the destination, the filename is in speechmarks and I think this is the problem.
Even when I don't use speechmarks in the code, my browsers still use them in the destination's name in the hyperlinks.
