Hi everyone,
can't get this one done... I've tried to get some advice in reading the .attr rule on api.jquery.com but I can't figure it out. Can you tell me what is wrong please? I've tried:
.attr("target = _blank"), .attr("target" = "_blank"), .attr("target", "_blank") and so forth but it doesn't run properly. Thanks in advance! Bye.

Using jQuery only, add to all links with the class "external", the target attribute with the value of "_blank".
You got half of it right, but don't forget this part add to all links with the class "external".
$('.external').attr('target', '_blank');
Like such. Hope it helps
