# --description--

You can make elements into links by nesting them within an `a` element.

Nest your image within an `a` element. Here's an example:

```html
<a href="#"><img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg" alt="Three kittens running towards the camera."></a>
```

Remember to use `#` as your `a` element's `href` property in order to turn it into a dead link.

# --instructions--

Place the existing image element within an `a` (*anchor*) element.

Once you've done this, hover over your image with your cursor. Your cursor's normal pointer should become the link clicking pointer. The photo is now a link.

# --hints--

The existing `img` element should be nested within an `a` element.

```js
assert($('a').children('img').length > 0);
```

Your `a` element should be a dead link with a `href` attribute set to `#`.

```js
assert(new RegExp('#').test($('a').children('img').parent().attr('href')));
```

Each of your `a` elements should have a closing tag.

```js
assert(
  code.match(/<\/a>/g) &&
    code.match(/<a/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length
);
```
