hi. up to challenge 37 in the html and got a local file on my laptop in vs code. now using firefox and trying to wrap a nested p tag like in a footer with a link. have tried about 15 different ways, and keeps telling me not correct. so what am i doing wrong. it is not liking it and did google, and did find the code. heres my code
<p><a href="http:s://www.freecodecamp.org">freeCodeCamp.org <p> No - Copyright freeCodeCamp.org</p></p></a>
what am i doing wrong? or have i got it wrong? totally blind and using jaws 2025 on windows 11. so no vision. so not sure why hit is not letting me through. can some one let me know and email me or post on the forum and send a link, giving this up today. tried and still not working. frustrated. marvin.
I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the code. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
When you ask for help, there is an HELP button (it appears after you try to run the tests 3 times) near the reset button. That button would create a template for a forum post that already contains your code and a link to the step.
If you don’t use that, you should at least share a link to the step you are stuck on.
For the code you have now, you should have one p element, you have two opening tags and two closing tags instead, you also have closed the anchor element after the two closing p tags, which makes what you have written illegal nesting.
You have also scrambled the starting text, I would suggest you use the reset button to restart the step. You already have a p element, do not add a new one. The a element needs to go only around the text “freeCodeCamp.org”, you need to put the opening tag of the a element right before that and the closing tag of the a element right after that.

Hi,
Take it easy and go step by step.
Reset the step and you’ll be given the clean code.
You should add anchor tags around the text freecodecamp.org. Remember, you don’t need to add any new text. The text is there; just add your anchor tags around it.
Good luck!
hi. okay so maybe then put the end a tag after the text of freeCodeCamp.org and then have the p tag at the end for the text. is that what you are saying before trying. let me know. marvin.
hi. so can you email me privately via EMAIL REDACTED. so still not working and not allowed to post code on the forum. totally stumped. and still not working. does not like the code. text freeCodeCamp.org and totally stumped. did try just then wrapping the anchor around the text, then closing it then having just the p tag at the end of the text. did not work. so can you help. frustrated and totally stumped. reset it three times today. still not working. help.
so this is the latest code. still complains that the text freeCodeCamp.org is not there. so what am i doing wrong. just frustrated. and did reset the lesson three times today. and does not like the text. so is something wrong maybe with the editor or the vallidation. please help and how to fix. sorry, as not allowed to post code here, so was looking for one on one help. so just frustrated and still not working. so tried about 50 times. so help.
