Freecodecamp: Dead Links using hash symbol

Created on 10 Dec 2015  路  20Comments  路  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

I have replaced href with the #, and the link is dead. FreecodeCamp is not moving to the next challenge.
Challenge Waypoint: Make Dead Links using the Hash Symbol has an issue.

Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }

  h2 {
    font-family: Lobster, Monospace;
  }

  p {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: Monospace;
  }

  .thick-green-border {
    border-color: green;
    border-width: 10px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }

  .smaller-image {
    width: 100px;
  }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>

@gasperno is correct. Thanks and happy coding!

what's wrong with this code?
make_dead_link

@Priya2013, You could ask help at Help Chat Room.

Happy Coding!

It's not the right place to ask?

@Priya2013, I dont have answer for your question. when you ask a help at chat room. they will help you with your challenges.

dwd2010 - The better answer would have been: "I don't know. Ask in the chat room." Done. And just because YOU didn't know the answer, doesn't mean other people don't.

I was confused as well. The wording of that paragraph should be changed. "....to turn it into a dead link." To me that means the link would stay thus 'href' would be replaced with the hashtag.

I am facing the same problem .with this challenge .Have you solved the problem Bro ?

gasperno gave us the correct answer, just scroll up.
