Challenge: Link to Internal Sections of a Page with Anchor Elements

Link to the challenge:

The first instruction says:

" Change your external link to an internal link by changing the href attribute to "#footer" and the text from cat photos to Jump to Bottom ."

Can you explain what you are having trouble with for this instruction?

It’s just not well explained. Where do I put things? Which line? After what? Really, what is a FOOTER??? I seriously need to be told what to do like I’m 5.

A “link” is represented by an <a> tag in HTML, so it is asking you to change the href attribute on the <a> in the HTML editor. Do you see the <a> tag in the editor window?

Likewise, a footer is represented by a <footer> tag in HTML. The hint is where the instructions say " <footer> element at the bottom of the page". Look at the bottom of the editor window.

Hey jmboyd65, your syntax for anchor tag is not correct. What the instructions means is to change what href equals to "#footer" and not to replace the actual word.

I got past that part-- and don’t ask me to remember how I did it, because I don’t. This is just so confusing.

Hi @jmboyd65 !

It might be best to reset the lesson.

Let’s break down the instructions

Here is the first part
Change your external link to an internal link by changing the href attribute to "#footer"

You need to change this
href="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com"

to instead have the href equals #footer

Next part
the text from cat photos to Jump to Bottom .
Remove the target="_blank"

You did that correct :grinning:

Next part
Then add an id attribute with a value of footer

This is the footer tag

inside there place the id of footer.

This is how to write id of footer
id="footer"

Place that id inside the opening footer tag.

<footer ID GOES HERE>

Hope that makes sense!

Another hint. When the instructions ask you to change an attribute, such as by changing the href attribute to "#footer" they mean change the value of the attribute, in other words, the stuff in between the quotes on the right hand side of the equals sign:

href="change what is in here"

So when someone says “change the href attribute” they don’t mean the “href” they mean the stuff in the quotes. This is just how we speak HTML. You’ll get used to it after a while :slight_smile:

Thank you, that makes sense. It’s just not well explained in the instructions.

Thank you everyone!! I think I’m gonna call it a break right now, since my brain is getting mushy and my frustration is getting in my way.

Yes, it does (sort of). Thank you!!
