you should add the a element around the text “terms and conditions” inside the label, do not write the words “terms and conditions” again

<label> <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/terms-ofservice/" for="terms-and-conditions"><input id="terms-and-conditions" type="checkbox" required>I accept the terms and conditions</label>

I fixed linking the URL with the text but for some reason it still wont work. I think its the placement of the text. It says to put it right after the input element within the label element.

<
input id="terms-and-conditions" type="checkbox" required>I accept the terms and conditions</label>

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

Then link the text terms and conditions to the following location:

You need to link the phrase terms and conditions using an anchor element. Add the opening and closing <a href="...> </a> tags around those words, with the URL in the achor’s opening tag.

You almost had it here:

>I accept the terms and conditions</label><a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/terms-of-service/">terms and conditions>

Except you added new “terms and conditions” text instead of using the existing text, and you didn’t use the closing tag correctly </a>

There is nothing in your anchor link.

Anchor link text <a href="url">goes here</a>.

This would make “goes here” a link to “url”.

You need to place the opening and closing tags around the “terms and conditions”

Hi @trulytb

Take a look at Cat Photo App step 17 on how to turn something into a link.

Happy coding
