@Love

You are supposed to target the element with the ID of target4.

#3

i did but cant get result

#4

Do you understand the difference between the following three jQuery selectors?

$("target4");

$(".target4");

$("#target4");

What is each attempting to select?

If you do not understand what these are selecting, then I suggest going back to review the previous jQuery challenges before trying to solve this current challenge.

#5

no result still have 2errors

#6

Were you able to answer my question above? If so, then I would like to hear your answer.

Also, since we do not know what you have tried since your original code, please reply with your latest code attempt.

To enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Also, can you tell us what two errors you are seeing?

#7

i have error on this code $(".target4").html(“jQuery Funhouse”); is not working and i followed instruction but didnt get answer

#8

The above code has two issues which are causing you to fail the test.

  1. You still are not targeting the correct button with id target4. Since you can not or will not answer my previous question, I have to assume you do not understand the code you have written. Again, I suggest reviewing the previous jQuery challenge on how to select elements with a specific id.

  2. Per the instructions, you are supposed to emphasizing the button’s text. The challenge gives an example showing exactly how to to this. Of course the example is not using the same text that your button has, so you will have to change to reflect your button’s text. The button you are supposed to be targeting does not have the text “jQuery Playground”.

These two error i cant’ solve :-Emphasize the text in your target4 button by adding HTML tags,Make sure to select button id=“target4” with jQuery

It seems you are targeting the class of target4, instead of the required id.

- $(".target4").html("<em>jQuery Funhouse</em>");
+ $("#target4").html("<em>jQuery Funhouse</em>");
