Hello. I am on the Step 4 of Building a Registration Form. IT request :
Add a title element to the head , and give your project a title of Registration Form . Also, nest a self-closing link element in the head element. Give it a rel attribute value of stylesheet , a type attribute value of text/css , and an href attribute value of styles.css .
My code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Registration Form</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The system shows me:
Sorry, your code does not pass. Hang in there.
Hintlink element should be a self-closing element.

Code enclosed with backticks:

Code not enclosed with backticks:
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor ( </> ) to add backticks around text.

I found this. looks like it’s bug, fixed but not released, as I understand
The issue has been fixed but may not have made it into production yet.

i had to delete spaces in the code. The ones in front of the link.
Lame, guess it’s time to go touch some grass. I was really getting into a groove too.
Deleting the spaces didn’t work for me.

What worked for you? Did you pass the step?
They were referring to the white space before the link tag. my code is below.
<head>
<title>Registration Form</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
I’ve switched out all of the quote marks between single, double, and nonexistant. I’ve moved the link tag to above the title. I’ve also removed all white space before the link tag in all instances.

There are most likely other steps affected as well.
## Discussion
The test for this step fails if the `<link>` tag does not include the forward slash before the ending `>`. According to [whatwg.org 13.1.2.1 Start tags](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#start-tags), point 6:
"Then, if the element is one of the [void elements](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#void-elements), or if the element is a [foreign element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#foreign-elements), then there **may** be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/). **This character has no effect on [void elements](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#void-elements)**, but on foreign elements it marks the start tag as self-closing."
This seems to imply that the forward slash is optional on the `<link>` tag and thus the test should pass if the user does not include it. There are 14 void elements that this applies to:
[area](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/image-maps.html#the-area-element), [base](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-base-element), [br](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-br-element), [col](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/tables.html#the-col-element), [embed](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/iframe-embed-object.html#the-embed-element), [hr](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-hr-element), [img](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#the-img-element), [input](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#the-input-element), [link](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-link-element), [meta](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-meta-element), [param](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/iframe-embed-object.html#the-param-element), [source](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#the-source-element), [track](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/media.html#the-track-element), [wbr](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-wbr-element)
I have been having issues with the same step. I came out of it and then just clicked step 5 on the curriculum page and I have been able to carry on. Hope that helps.
