(New) Responsive Web Design Certification not recognizing my code

HTML-CSS
1

The final certification project is failing to recognize my accomplishment:

Step 8 of the instructions (titled User Stories) says: 1. Your portfolio should have a link with an id of profile-link, which opens your GitHub or freeCodeCamp profile in a new tab

My code includes the following line:



       <a id="profile-link" href="https://github.com/freecodecamp" target="_blank" class="abs absolute-details"><i class="fab fa-github"></i> GitHub</a>

The evaluation section titled Tests: Now shows two Xs:

  • Failed:* Your portfolio should have an a element with an id of profile-link.

  • Failed:Your #profile-link element should have a target attribute of _blank.

We really need to see all of the code so fully understand what’s happening.

3

My code has 117 lines of HTML and 420 lines of CSS. How should I present them?

4

for example with replit, codepen, or a github repo.

5

We might only need to see all the HTML.

If I add the code you posted to an empty page it passes the two tests. I’d suggest you validate the HTML and make sure you do not have any syntax errors.

The validation tool has produced 19 suggestions. I’ll work through that and get back to you.

Sorry, I have to keep the lights on. I had to go work. The validation tool had 2 correctible points and 15 points referring to sections that it suggested adding headings to and duplicate uses of the id tag. Among the duplicate uses was profile-link. Once I removed the duplicate link the code was accepted again. I am trying to create a proper profile to get my first certification. Thx so much for leading me in the right direction.
