Cannot pass basic HTML challenge

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I have tried to pass the challenge labelled: “Basic HTML and HTML5: Link to External Pages with Anchor Elements”. I have tried using my own code, the code in the example video and the code in several of the challenge guide comments. I cannot for the life of me pass this challenge even using the spoiler code. The line I need help with is the last line of code. Is there something wrong with it? If so, what is it and how can I fix it?

The criteria for the challenge is:
-Your a element should have the anchor text of “cat photos”.
-You need an a element that links to https://freecatphotoapp.com (this is the one I supposedly get wrong
-Your a element should have a closing tag.

Edit: I’ve tried to nest the “a” element inside the “main” element. The result is the same. I can’t pass the challenge.

Solution: I was missing the “s” at the end of “htpp” thanks for the help!

Your code so far


<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>



<img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back.">

<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>
<p>Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched.</p>
</main>
<a href="http://freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos</a>

I think your “a” element needs to be inside the main tag, hope this helps you :slight_smile: keep up the good work.

Hey, :wave:
I think your problem here is that you suppose to nest the a element in the main element.

5

Have you tried putting the anchor element above the image element inside the “main” tag?

The link needs to be https://freecatphotoapp.com instead of http://freecatphotoapp.com

Notice the missing ‘s’ in your link, which took me a few minutes to spot.
