challenge string

var myStr = "<a href=\"http://www.example.com\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a>";

My solution

var myStr = '<a href="http://www.example.com"target= "blank">Link</a';

The error message that I’m getting is that I need to remove all of the ‘’ s

The ‘’ is not the problem but I cannot see the error. The system often gives an incorrect error message when there is a problem. I’ve reread, watched the video, etc to no avail. Help please.

Your code so far


var myStr = '<a href= "http://www.example.com" target = "blank">Link</a';

Check the end of the line, try proper closing instead </a

3

maybe you missed something? hint: look at each of the elements (i.e. <a>...</a> and check if you missed closing it

Thanks guys I’m going over it and found one error but correcting it didn’t fix the issue.

5

Add ( _ ) before “blank”, like … “_blank”

Thanks, I found that one but it didn’t solve the problem. What did wasn’t the back slash the error message claimed, it was something that wasn’t in the video or the help screens a closing >. the video did it wrong too. Thanks for the help.
