# --description--

To open links in a new tab, you can use the `target` attribute on the anchor (`a`) element. 

The `target` attribute specifies where to open the linked document. `target="_blank"` opens the linked document in a new tab or window.

Here is the basic syntax for an `a` element with a `target` attribute:

```html
<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org" target="_blank">freeCodeCamp</a>
```

Add a `target` attribute with the value `_blank` to the anchor (`a`) element's opening tag, so that the link opens in a new tab.

# --hints--

Your `p` element should have a nested anchor (`a`) element with the text `cat photos`. You may have deleted it or have a typo.

```js
const anchor = document.querySelectorAll('p > a');
assert.isNotEmpty(anchor);
assert.strictEqual(anchor[1]?.innerText?.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, ' '), 'cat photos')
```

Your anchor (`a`) element does not have a `target` attribute. Check that there is a space after the opening tag's name and/or there are spaces before all attribute names.

```js
assert.isTrue(document.querySelectorAll('a')[1]?.hasAttribute('target'));
```

The value of the `target` attribute should be `_blank`. You have either omitted the value or have a typo. Remember that attribute values should be surrounded with quotation marks.

```js
assert.strictEqual(document.querySelectorAll('a')[1]?.getAttribute('target'), '_blank');
```
