Learn HTML by Building a Cat Photo App - Step 13

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello! I’m on step 13 and I still can’t seem to understand the “target” attribute. Specifically how to add “_blank” into my line of code. It tells me to put it inside of the anchor element and while I’ve tried a bunch of different ways it still ends up wrong. If anybody can help me out so I can continue it would be much appreciated!!!

  **Your code so far**

<html>
<body>
  <h1>CatPhotoApp</h1>
  <main>
    <h2>Cat Photos</h2>
    <!-- TODO: Add link to cat photos -->
    <p>Click here to view more <a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos</a>.</p>
    <img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back.">
  </main>
</body>
</html>

I will try to teach you the general way of understanding these terms first.
As you know an HTML tag usually looks like this
<h1>

On the other hand, an HTML attribute usually gets added onto a tag such as this:
<img src="link to an image">

The src is the attribute of the img tag

Now looking back at the instructions given. They say that:

target is the attribute of the a tag

So then, how should target look like? (Same thing as saying src is the attribute of the img tag, so therefore target is the name of the attribute - just like src is, and then you will need an equal sign, and then after that double quotes with a value inside. The value is provided in the exercise as _blank. So we use that inside the quotes).

Hope this helps
