Hey You should put the ? after the email address followed by SUBJECT= , all between "" like my example below:

  <a href="mailto:learning@html.com?subject=Testing">mail</a>

Not very sure what you have typed?

Hi Lam, You have a space between ? and subject

 <h2>Contact</h2>
           <p><strong> Email:</strong><a href="mailto:coolvrexperience@gmail.com? subject=YA%20YO!">coolvrexperience@gmail.com</a>></p>
           <p><strong>Phone:</strong> 888-123-6666</p>

Remove that space and will work ;)

Exactly I did this and the subject attribute and content displays in the , To: portion of the email window , it didn’t give my subject “statement “ in the subject portion of the email browser . When I use the question mark It doesn’t show the subject statement But it renders the mailto statement when I don’t use the question mark it renders subject = statement in the , To: portion of the email browser

I am very unsure as it is working on mine... the below code belongs to one of my small projects and it also works...

<ul class="main-nav">
      <li><a href="#">News</li></a>
      <li><a href="#">Services</li></a>
      <li><a href="#">What to do</li></a>
      <li><a href="mailto:sil.ramos@icloud.com?subject=Hey%20there!">Contact</li><a>
    </ul>

yes ive tried running this If() statement according to knowledge ive understood from video instructions in Javascript Basics : Write an ' If ' statement , 1 objective, Challenge Task 1 of 1

Create a conditional statement that tests if the isAdmin variable is true. If it's true, set the value of the message variable to "Welcome admin".

const isAdmin = true; const isStudent = false; let message;

if (isAdmin = true) { console.log (message); } else{ console.log () }
