I typed the following code:

\<h2 id="footer\>"Footer and it keeps showing me this: The `footer` tag should have an `id` attribute set to "footer". What am I doing wrong?

Looks like your quote is in the wrong place

should be `<h2 id="footer">` not `<h2 id="footer>" `

hope that helps!!

First you need to change the link here:

```auto
<a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com" target="_blank">cat photos</a>

```

href has an external link ( refers to another website). you should change this to an internal link ( refers to the id of an element within the page)  
to do this change the address to id like this `href="#footer"`

then remove this part in the a tag `target="_blank"`  
finally, define id for the foot tag. To do this add `id="footer"` to the footer element.

That’s exactly what I’ve written.  
`<h2 id="footer"> Jump to Bottom</h2>`  
but “id” appears to be in red color I don’t know why

Hi! @theoriginalhybrid9  
Welcome to the forum

- You were asked to give an `id` to the `footer` element not to the `h2` so, the `footer` element’s id should be footer

- Also in your jump to the bottom `anchor` element remove the `target="_blank"` attribute from the anchor tag since this causes the linked document to open in a new window tab.

Hope this helps ✨

Ah! You are adding the id to the `<h2>` element.

The footer is way at the bottom - try adding the id to the `<footer>` element!!!

```auto
<footer id="footer">

```
