Please some people answer me this annoying coding challenge, i really don't know what to do here.

Set the "contact" link to begin composing an email in the user's default email program when clicked.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h3>Design & Development</h3>

I don't see any of your code added above. Please provide the code you are trying so other may be able to help you. Without seeing what you are trying, it is very hard to help you pinpoint the errors. The Community is a place to come for assistance, not to just be given the answers... this wouldn't lead to much learning.

Also, going back and reviewing the videos right before the challenge is very helpful when you are stuck. Knowing what to watch for specifically will often help find the solution you need.

I have also gone back through and deleted the duplicate threads you created for this subject. Please try and refrain from posting multiple threads on the same subject. As I've already suggested, going back and reviewing the videos is a great way to find answers you are looking for and an is excellent learning tool.

Thank you
