Hi, you can either use a backend or put it inside a folder. For example:
example.html becomes:

example/
  index.html

Then you just link it:

<a href="/example">click</a>

hi:)
it says page not found,
i think i didn't do it the right way can you plz :) be more specific :)@Coder100

wheres the repl @potatojs

eh i don't think trying to change the spaghetti code of the website is a good idea here is a simplified one:
https://repl.it/@potatojs/mywebsite#index.html
@Coder100

https://repl.it/@potatojs/mywebsite#index.html

@Coder100 Bro i tried a lot of codes on the internet and none of them worked (probably also because i am still noob on coding), but yours worked, thanks you so much

np! @ADisappointment

@Coder100
I dont think this still works, I feel like I messed up my code.

Here is my code:

I did what you said from Line 43 to Line 60, could you tell me what I did wrong

@Coder100
My repl isn't working
https://replit.com/@ShadyGames/web#index.html

Could you to tell me what I did wrong?

none of these work for me. the 1st because i have a navbar and the 2nd one just wont work. is there any reason it isnt working?

the url to my repl is: https://replit.com/@aanginer/coolcode#index.html

You need to write a thingy that removes the .html. Check out this https://teamtreehouse.com/community/removing-html-from-url

is there a simpler way?
@BrownieBoi
