Stuck On Comment Out HTML

#1

Tell us what’s happening:
I am unable to get past this module as I can’t seem to to comment out h1 and p elements

Your code so far

<!--Hello World Hello Paragraph-->
<h1>Hello World</h1>

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p>Hello Paragraph</p>
-->

Originally all of the elements are commented together. You should remove that comment, then comment the <h1> and <p> elements individually.

#3

Can you show me an example please?

Not sure if I understand removing the comment

#4

Removing the comment means removing the <!-- and the --> parts.

The original commented code looked like this:

<!--
<h1>Hello World</h1>

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p>Hello Paragraph</p>
-->

After uncommenting, it’ll look like this:

<h1>Hello World</h1>

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p>Hello Paragraph</p>

Now you have to comment the <h1> and <p> elements, but leave the middle <h2> uncommented.

#5

So I did this…

<!--Hello World-->
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<!--Hello World-->
<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<!--Hello Paragraph-->
<p>Hello Paragraph</p>
<!--Hello Paragraph-->

Red X next to following: Comment out your h1 element so that it is not visible on your page. (same for p element)

#6

That’s just adding comments, not commenting out existing code.

This is how to comment the <h1> element:

<!--
<h1>Hello World</h1>
-->

Same with the <p> element.

THANK YOU - finally got past it!
