# --description--
|
|
|
|
You can use `a` (*anchor*) elements to link to content outside of your web page.
|
|
|
|
`a` elements need a destination web address called an `href` attribute. They also need anchor text. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org">this links to freecodecamp.org</a>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then your browser will display the text `this links to freecodecamp.org` as a link you can click. And that link will take you to the web address `https://www.freecodecamp.org`.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Create an `a` element that links to `https://www.freecatphotoapp.com` and has "cat photos" as its anchor text.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your `a` element should have the anchor text of `cat photos`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/cat photos/gi.test($('a').text()));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You need an `a` element that links to `https://www.freecatphotoapp.com`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/^https?:\/\/(www\.)?freecatphotoapp\.com\/?$/i.test($('a').attr('href')));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `a` element should have a closing tag.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
code.match(/<\/a>/g) &&
|
|
code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
