You'll get the best responses in this forum if you upload your problem page to the web and post a link so we can view it in our browsers.

Switch to Code View. Did you wrap anchor <a> tags around each text link?

Before anchor tags:

Some link | Some link | Some link

After anchor tags:

<a href="page1.html"Some link</a> | <a href="page2.html"Some link</a> | <a href="page3.html"Some link</a>

Thank you very much Nancy for your quick response. My codings are correct

just like yours.

I was instructed to post my web page to the web. Please advise how to do

this.

Many thanks.

I tried to test a simple link by typing 5 words and linking them to 5 files accordingly

Have you made sure that the menu items are linking to the same place on ALL pages? It sounds like you have a main page with the correct menu but have not included the updated menu on all the pages you are linking to.

If you are using a template, make sure you update all child pages before testing the navigation.

If you haven't already, you'll need to procure space on a remote web server from a commercial hosting company. When you've got the log-in details from your host, plug that info into Dreamweaver.

See Setting Up Local & Remote site folders (CS5 & CS5.5)

Upload your test page & dependant files to your remote server.

Come back here and post the URL to your problem page.

When your question is answered, you may remove the files from your remote server.

Rik,

I've only do the linking of the Navigation menu only on the first page just

to see if the if it is working. But since you mentioned that i need to

finish linking the rest of the pages therefore, let me work on it and see

if this will fix the problem. Thank you

The problem with only doing the navigation on one page is that once you have clicked to another page, the navigation is no longer there to allow you to get back. I think this is what you are experiencing.

Rik, It did work. Thank you very much for your help. Let me also extend

my appreciation to John and Nancy for your response.

@John - My last question is, as you mentioned that i need to upload in the

website a webpage in question. Does this mean i need to open with an

account with web server companies (like hostgator, bluehost, etc.) or can i

do this at no cost and how. Thank you in advance.

Free hosting (google for options) is OK but if you want your website to be taken seriously then purchasing web hosting is easily the best way to go.
