target is an attribute that determines how the link is opened, _blank means it will open in a new tab. This attribute has been introduced at the beginning of the Cat Photo App project

You did this back in the early steps of the first project

so I have to add target =_ blank?

what happens if you try it in your element?

it didn’t work. it says" Your new a element should link to https://www.freecodecamp.org . Remember that a elements use the href attribute to create a link."

What is your new code?

    <p><a href target="_blank"="https://www.freecodecamp.org">Visit our website</a></p>

Why did you clobber the href attribute?

shouldn’t it go to the inside the opening anchor tag, because that’s what I thought and that’s why I put it there.

You detached the href from its value (the URL). I don’t understand why

there’s no logic tho, anyways where should the target=_blank go? it should go inside the anchor tag or the paragraph tag? or beside it?

Where did it go the first time you made one back in the Cat Photo App project?

I don’t remember using (target=“_blank”) in Cat Photo App project.

okay I got it after trying few times,


anyways thank you for your help.

You can always go back and look at old projects

that’s not correct even if it passes the tests, you have two incomplete opening tags
