It says I need to put a “a” element before part of the code, and I’m watching the video, and my code looks the exact same but it says I need the “a” element, but the video doesn’t
Your code so far
<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
<a href="https://freecatphoto.com">cat photos</a>
<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.</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.</p>
</main>

Challenge: Link to External Pages with Anchor Elements
that is exactly what i have and it says i need a “a” element that links to http://freecatphotoapp.com but i have the exact same thing as the video and you
I would suggest you just copy and paste the URL given to you in the challenge. It’s easy staring yourself blind looking at strings and trying to compare them.
Hello. The instructions you need to apply are these.
a elements are links. To create one you use <a></a> tags. Between the two 'a' you write your text that will appear in page: for this case, "cat photos". To introduce the destination web address, u will write in the first <a> the url, using a href attribute. -just copy the syntax. In this case, u need to use http, NOT https.
I admire everyone’s patience here. It was cringeworthy, I felt like I was waiting for someone to lose patience, and no one ever did, or at least verbalized they had. Thank you everyone for your civility.
Just want to mention as I am new to coding, I have made many silly mistakes of not looking or reading carefully to the instruction also. In this case, because I was looking at the example given, so I actually typed the freecodecamp URL instead of the freecatphotoapp URL in the first place. So I got the error message, then when I did the correction, I forgot to remove the “s”. Good learning experience.
I like to think of them as strategically-important mistakes… we all make them (sometimes more than a couple of times), but each time we learn from them (hopefully). So by the time you’re ready to work as a professional in the industry, you should have got at least 10,000 mistakes out of your system
And even more importantly, every time you need to track down a bug, no matter how small or silly you’re training your eyes to spot differences between code, identify patterns, and quickly hone in on something that doesn’t look quite right.
