--description--

You can make elements into links by nesting them within an a element.

Nest your image within an a element. Here's an example:

<a href="#"><img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg" alt="Three kittens running towards the camera."></a>

Remember to use # as your a element's href property in order to turn it into a dead link.

--instructions--

Place the existing image element within an a (anchor) 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.

--hints--

The existing img element should be nested within an a element.

assert($('a').children('img').length > 0);

Your a element should be a dead link with a href attribute set to #.

assert(new RegExp('#').test($('a').children('img').parent().attr('href')));

Each of your a elements should have a closing tag.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/a>/g) &&
    code.match(/<a/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/a>/g).length === code.match(/<a/g).length
);
