## Description
<section id='description'>
Sometimes you want to add <code>a</code> elements to your website before you know where they will link.
This is also handy when you're changing the behavior of a link using <code>JavaScript</code>, which we'll learn about later.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
The current value of the <code>href</code> attribute is a link that points to "http://freecatphotoapp.com". Replace the <code>href</code> attribute value with a <code>#</code>, also known as a hash symbol, to create a dead link.
For example: <code>href="#"</code>
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: 'Your <code>a</code> element should be a dead link with the value of the <code>href</code> attribute set to "#".'
    testString: 'assert($("a").attr("href") === "#", ''Your <code>a</code> element should be a dead link with the value of the <code>href</code> attribute set to "#".'');'

```
