Despite using the following code. I am taken to a new window of the freecodecamp website.
I’d appreciate any help here (happens in FireFox and Chrome ).

The code used:

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
  
  <a href="#footer">Jump to Bottom</a>
  
  <img src='//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/6/1/61a3499c5abb165be990aa0c1abd23342e60c663.jpg' alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back.">
  
  <p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff. Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched. Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>
  <p>Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched. Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff. Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched.</p>
  <p>Meowwww loved it, hated it, loved it, hated it yet spill litter box, scratch at owner, destroy all furniture, especially couch or lay on arms while you're using the keyboard. Missing until dinner time toy mouse squeak roll over. With tail in the air lounge in doorway. Man running from cops stops to pet cats, goes to jail.</p>
  <p>Intently stare at the same spot poop in the plant pot but kitten is playing with dead mouse. Get video posted to internet for chasing red dot leave fur on owners clothes meow to be let out and mesmerizing birds leave fur on owners clothes or favor packaging over toy so purr for no reason. Meow to be let out play time intently sniff hand run outside as soon as door open yet destroy couch.</p>

Could you post a link to the challenge you’re doing?

Sure, here it is:

Clicking the link that’s in the Browser view (right third) of the page does open a new window with the list of Curriculum. Using Firefox.

I created a new page using Codepen and cut/pasted your code into that new page. It works fine.

I think there is something in the background that runs the FCC training pages that makes the Browser views not always work.

I think this is just a bug in the code. There’s an open issue already, so they’re aware and working on it!
