I’m lost on this as well, there was no description of what a target is or how to use it prior to this step and there are no details. Someone who is just learning is supposed to just know what target means?
Target is mentioned is an “attribute”. Hopefully this has meaning to you as you should have learned about attributes in an earlier step. Attributes you may know are href and src. They are added to the opening tags of html element. Anyway, if you need more help check the following post
Or you can review the step number 8 of the cat photo app, or google “html attributes” or click on the Ask for Help button in step 14 and we can help you further.
