Issue creating internal link with HTML

Tell us what’s happening:
I am attempting to create a link within my page. Upon clicking the link you should be taken to the bottom of the same page.

I seem to have correctly set the anchor link using href to determine that this link should connect with the next portion of the page with the word “footer”.

My issue is that when I run the script I am told that two things are wrong:

  1. There should be only one footer tag on your page.
  2. The footer tag should have an id attribute set to “footer”.

How can I properly use href to create an internal link to “footer” without using the footer tag twice?

My footer tag appears to have it’s id attribute set to footer. What have I done wrong?

Your code so far

  <p>Meowwww loved it, hated it, loved it, hated it yet spill litter box, scratch at owner, destroy all furniture, especially couch or lay on arms while you're using the keyboard. Missing until dinner time toy mouse squeak roll over. With tail in the air lounge in doorway. Man running from cops stops to pet cats, goes to jail.</p>
  <p>Intently stare at the same spot poop in the plant pot but kitten is playing with dead mouse. Get video posted to internet for chasing red dot leave fur on owners clothes meow to be let out and mesmerizing birds leave fur on owners clothes or favor packaging over toy so purr for no reason. Meow to be let out play time intently sniff hand run outside as soon as door open yet destroy couch.</p>

The issue is that the p element at the bottom should be a footer tag.

<p id="footer">Copyright Cat Photo App</p>

should be

<footer id="footer">Copyright Cat Photo App</footer>
