13,886 PointsError in code challenge, it says is empty but is not
Hello:
I think there is a bug on this code challenge:
here is my code:
var target = "_blank"; $(".external a").attr("target",target);
but a Boomer error message says : target must be "_blank" not " ";
Is a bug, right? or I'm so blind I can't see my mistake?
Thanks

15,634 PointsYou are being asked to target and anchor tag with a class of "external", but you are writing your jQuery call as if you are trying to target an anchor tag inside of an element with a class of "external".
in your code:
var target = "_blank"; $(".external a").attr("target",target);
you need to change
$(".external a")
to just be
$(".external")
so that it targets the elements with a class of "external", and this should solve your issue.
Happy coding!
