The "href" link associated with the local HTML file is unresponsive while others work fine

I have an HTML document where one of the links just doesn't work. All HTML files are available locally by this and other links, older ones (with exactly the same syntax) work fine, but it doesn't seem to be related to anything.

problem link

<a href="signuptwo.html"><p id="nextbutton">NEXT</p></a>

      

CSS (just in case)

#nextbutton {
    width:90px;
    height:30px;
    color:#333;
    font-size:20px;
    background-color:#54B6FE;
    border:thin solid #666;
    text-align:center;
    float:right;
}

      

code on linked page

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Sign Up</title>
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body style="height:2100px;">
   hello world
</body>
</html>

      

It is probably easier to describe what I tried but failed to fix:

  • copy and paste work links inside the div area (they worked great)
  • change HTML file name
  • try multiple versions of HTML file as link locations.
  • remove any ID links and just have the link " <a href="..."><p>...</p></a>

    " without styling.
  • allocating the folder to another part of my PC (the files are part of the WINFORMS application that the browser tool uses. This shouldn't be a problem as when I isolate the root folder from the compiler the problem still persists)
  • Move the link to other areas of the HTML document.
  • testing different iterations of the landing page.

I know the problem is not with the linked page itself as it works fine in the browser. The link syntax is exactly the same as the other links I've used on the page and the filename is identical to any special characters or anything that might cause the browser some problems ... WHY !!!!

let me know if you need any information.
