The link to my Twitter page isn't working on the Intro to HTML and CSS exercise. Please help.

I can't get the link on the Twitter logo to go to my twitter feed. It's supposed to open it on another page. What did I do wrong? Here is the line of code: <li><a href="https://twitter.com/KarlPet25648030" class="social twitter">Twitter</a></li>

Hi Karl Peterson,

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your link. We'd need to see the complete HTML document to verify that there's nothing else within the markup that would cause an error leading to the link not working. So if you're able to paste your code, or fork your workspace we can provide more guidance.

As far as the link not opening in a different page, you'll need to add the target attribute to your anchor element.

Here's a link to an article on the anchor element, which includes information on its available attributes:

Brandon, I finally fixed the problem. I was using Firefox to do the assignments and it worked at first, but after a break, I came back and the webpage wasn't changing as I made changes in the code. I switched to Chrome and reopened the class and everything started working great. I think somehow the link between the workspace and the website got broken so it wouldn't update. Now, everything is working great in Chrome. I appreciate you, Brandon, for looking at my question and giving me feedback.
