You might need additional logic in the `update` function, so that when you click a link to “innerspa.html”, it runs `Browser.Navigation.load` instead of `Browser.Navigation.pushUrl` because it usually runs `pushUrl` when the URL is in the same domain. I don’t know if elm-spa allows that.

Maybe it also works if you change the `href` to include the full URL including the domain name
