## Description
<section id='description'>
You can make elements into links by nesting them within an <code>a</code> element.
Nest your image within an <code>a</code> element. Here's an example:
<code>&#60;a href="#"&#62;&#60;img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-running-cats" alt="Three kittens running towards the camera."&#62;&#60;/a&#62;</code>
Remember to use <code>#</code> as your <code>a</code> element's <code>href</code> property in order to turn it into a dead link.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Place the existing image element within an <code>a</code> (<i>anchor</i>) element.
Once you've done this, hover over your image with your cursor. Your cursor's normal pointer should become the link clicking pointer. The photo is now a link.

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The existing <code>img</code> element should be nested within an <code>a</code> element.
    testString: assert($("a").children("img").length > 0);
  - text: Your <code>a</code> element should be a dead link with a <code>href</code> attribute set to <code>#</code>.
    testString: assert(new RegExp("#").test($("a").children("img").parent().attr("href")));
  - text: Each of your <code>a</code> elements should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/a>/g) && code.match(/<a/g) && code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length);
