Problem of hyperlink tag




HTML coding is very sensitive to font type. The quotation mark should be like the one in the first link. The one in the second and third link is wrong. That's why the tag does not bring us to the link correctly.
Same for your background color. If the color doesn't work, change your font to calibri and fix the quotation mark.

Hope this helps!
