--description--

Sometimes you want to add a 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 JavaScript, which we'll learn about later.

--instructions--

The current value of the href attribute is a link that points to "https://www.freecatphotoapp.com". Replace the href attribute value with a #, also known as a hash symbol, to create a dead link.

For example: href="#"

--hints--

Your a element should be a dead link with the value of the href attribute set to "#".

js
assert.strictEqual(document.querySelector('a').getAttribute('href'),'#');
