Linking Problem...please help:(

[CandyAppleBlack]

Uh, hi there I'm new here so please take pity on me.

I put a link to another page on my website. Now the problem is that it dosent thake you to the exact page it takes you to the starting page (I hope this makes sense). How Do I get the link to go to the specific page I've chosen ratherthan the site's home page?

Here's an example of my problem

The link is suppose to take you here: www.joecartoon.com/pages/specialgift

But instead it takes you here: www.joecartoon.com/pages/home

How do I get the link to go to this one:
www.joecartoon.com/pages/specialgift

Pleae help.

Thank you.

Tell me if you are using a special program to write your web pages.

Normally, you do this:
<a href="url of the page to go to">Text</a>

In your case:
<a href="http://www.joecartoon.com/pages/specialgift">Text</a>

Am I getting it wrong?

That's what I did. But it dosen't seem to be working. How can I fix it? I really need it to go to that page. I don't think it's anything special, I'm using Garymatter if that helps.

I really hope you can help.

Do you REALLY have a page called "specialgift" at that location, not eg "specialgift.html" ?

It looks like there's some sort of server-side redirect happening.

Hehe
www.joecartoon.com/pages/specialgift/
(the amazing power of the slash)
The slash tells the server that you are looking for a directory, not a resource.
