As requested.

I need to put a CSS tabbed menu onto my website, I have no idea why it's not working, as I followed some websites instructions :((

The website says:
Upload the menu_source folder to the root directory of your website. This is usually where your index.html or index.php file is.

Then

Code 
<link href="/menu_assets/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css>

Into the header.

Then

Code 
<div id='cssmenu'>

<ul>

   <li class='active'><a href='index.html' target='_blank'><span>WebClient</span></a></li>

   <li><a href='#'><span>Download Client (Windows)</span></a></li>

   <li><a href='#'><span>IconicScape Wiki</span></a></li>

   <li><a href='#'><span>Donations</span></a></li>

   <li class='last'><a href='#'><span>Vote</span></a></li>

</ul>

</div>

Into the body..

I have no idea why it's not working. Q.Q

It's hard to tell because you haven't posted your css, there could be more but as far as I can see theres a few things wrong with your stylesheet link.

But try removing the first '/' from your stylesheet path and adding in your ending " for type. Like this

Code 
<link href="menu_assets/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

This. Also if this file is in a folder thats not your root folder (/), then the link to get out of the folder and back to root is ../ so the code might need to be, if the files are in two different folders.

Code 
<link href="../menu_assets/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Also make sure the stylesheet is called styles.css, as this is normally just called style but your code calls for something called styles

Lol, I scanned the whole thing for like 15 minutes trying to find what was wrong, and I don't know how but I noticed it :)

Bugs like that can be the most annoying things, especially when it's something like an "l" instead of an "|" buried halfway through 800 lines of code.
