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

My code:

var myStr ='<a href="http://www.example.com"  target= "_blank">Link</a>';

I was not able to reproduce this issue, my challenge pass.
Can you be more explicit on the steps to reproduce?

In the meantime I believe a refresh will let you continue.
Happy coding 👍

@pamela113 @Marmiz: The test is quite strict. It won't accept a space between target= and "_blank" or two spaces between attributes, like there are between href="http://www.example.com" and target (which it shouldn't so as to conform to accepted standards).

@cdrainxv good catch! didn't even noticed it in the original code 👍

@cdrainxv yup, thanks for debugging this. And while you are right about having no space between values and one space between attributes, I think this is still valid code.

We should probably relax the tests, given the fact that we are focusing not to involve standard practice in challenges, we have videos for those.

/cc @freeCodeCamp/moderators I am up for tagging this help wanted.

@raisedadead Adding a couple of \s* (0 or more whitespace characters) to the regex could probably solve this issue. I agree, this is ready to be fixed :blush:

@Marmiz @cdrainxv Thanks for the excellent triaging!

[pamela113]

The exercise says to remove all .
Then you should have two single quotes and four double quotes.
The last part , 3 of 3 says you should remove all that are used to escape quotes.
I have a pass on part one and part two the third one is not passing.
Thanks for your prompt response!

Hi, can I do this?

[raisedadead]

@IanTeo sure, please go ahead.

Here are the Guidelines for Contributing.

If extra whitespace is allowed where and how much should be acceptable? As in, should spaces be allowed before and after the assignment operator as well as between href and target?

Any no. It does not matter, the browser will strip away anything that's not needed.
