hi, i’m going through the first HTML tutorials, and i got stuck on something really basic.
this internal link pair doesn’t work:
<a href="#footer">Jump to Bottom</a>
...
<h2 id="footer">footer</h2>
i’m getting this error:
// running tests The footer tag should have an id attribute set to “footer”.
// tests completed
Welcome, tony.
Hi, I’ve changed your thread title to describe your problem more clearly. Descriptive titles, such as “Why does my function return undefined?”, are more likely to elicit helpful responses than generic titles.
Also, for future posts, if you have a question about a specific challenge as it relates to your written code for that challenge, just click the Ask for Help button located on the challenge. It will create a new topic with all code you have written and include a link to the challenge also. You will still be able to ask any questions in the post before submitting it to the forum.
With the code you have provided, I do not see a:
footertag should have anidattribute set to “footer”
Hope this helps
Thank you for replying! I have just submitted another help request as you instructed, and it was more fully annotated. For some reason the first time I asked for help it did not copy; maybe because I hadn’t created my account yet.
Do you see anything wrong in my code?

your footer tag doesn’t have an id attribute
hi, thanks for your help! i removed the h2 line and changed footer line to:
id="footer">footerbut still get same error…
sorry, i don’t know why that pasted wrong; how do i paste code verbatim?
Can you post all your code? not just that line?
When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

hi, just posted full code, Akismet thinks it’s spam
Akismet sometimes is a bit too zealous (it’s our automatic check against spam)
this is your footer tag, there is no id attribute in it
so how should it look?
the attrbute goes inside the tag, not after it
doh! that fixed it. i just removed the > after <footer and it worked. thank you! coding is fun
