j query basics On line 7, set href to be the value of the href attribute of the clicked link. Keep getting oops message

I thought the href was the id of the image gallery and the a tag? "#imageGallery a" I cant figure out how to set the value of the href attribute of the clicked link.

The following code worked for me. martina: try removing 'console.log(href);' part in your code.

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr("href");

you dont need the console.log at the end martina. $('#imageGallery a').click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr('href'); console.log("href");
