Hello all,

I keep seeing this in various places on my site and it's not clear to me where the issue is on this line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike

It's because you are missing a closing double quote at the end of all of your nav-link classes.

Oops, the spaces threw me off.

Fix the spacing of your double quotes. Some are butting up to the href, others are spaced away from the href but have a space after the class.

Change <a class="nav-link "

to <a class="nav-link" (no space).

You'll probably find the validator is trying to tell you that you should have a space " href:

" href="dashboard-groups.html">

Ignore it.

I personally turn off linting, and just use the w3c validator once I have finished the page.

Thanks, pziecina! Didn't know about that validation feature and when I ran that, it pointed me to the issue which was the lack of a space after class="..."

Good to know!
