Hi,

i am trying to create a navigation bar using the UL element tag, i’ve created my links fine, but whenever i click on my links, it some how pushes my page downwards. Can somebody tell me why it does this please.

homepage_V1.css


/* homepage_V1.css is used to help build my homepage*/
 body
{
    margin-top: 2em;
    margin-left: 2em;
    
}
div.container
{
    width: 80em;
    border: solid #9400D3 0.1em;
    height: 40em;
    padding-left: 1em;
    padding-top: 1em;
    padding-bottom: 1em;
}
 div.nav ul
{
    list-style-type: none;
    
}
