Trouble With Hyperlinks and CSS

CSS Hyperlinks

[lifetime77]

I am extremely new to CSS and downloaded some free templates to give myself some practice working with and customizing some elements before I start my own from scratch. I currently am having an issue with getting hyperlinks to work with my buttons. I created a test page in the root directory called test.html alongside the index.html file and linked it to the button. I go to preview the page and nothing happens. I set a hyperlink on a second button to firefox.com and that works fine. below is the code for my buttons
<div class="navcontainer" style="width: 200px; height: 170px">
<ul class="navlist">
<li><a title="link one" href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li><a title="link two" href="index.html">products</a></li>
<li><a title="link three" href="index.html">about</a></li>
<li><a title="link four" href="index.html">local dealers</a></li>
<li><a title="link five" href="test.html">test link</a></li>
<li><a title="link six" href="http://www.Firefox.com/">code editing test</a></li>
<li><a title="link seven" href="index.html">contact us</a><br>
</ul>
</div>

This is proving to be extremely frustrating as I am fairly sure I am very close to getting it to work.

And also a second question. I have been using frames for the current webpage I am working on and my client likes change things like buttons often. With frames I can make the change and it is applied to all pages. Is this something CSS can do? Having to change by hand 200+ files to incorporate a new button would prove very annoying.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this and I apologize if this is somewhat difficult to read or I am using incorrect terminology. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is test.html in the same directory as the page that you are working with? The file path says that it is.

The structure of the link is fine: Is there a typ0 in the file name?

Be sure that you really used an .html file extension, and not an .htm extension.

Do a search on includes, and begin to familiarize yourself with their great power. A change to one file can be used to emend thousands of pages at once. You may decide to quit frames in a hurry.

Ahh, I was under the impression it saved my file as .html, when I viewed the extension it was saved as a .htm file. Now it works great. Thank you.

Now if I want to add buttons to the ones I already have is there a way to make one change in the code and have it apply to all pages? Can I / Do I have to use frames with my code and if so how would this be done.
