<a href= "#top"> go back to the top of the page.</a> The href needs to be inside of the anchor element

I have found that Team Treehouse requires perfect answers and any error no matter how small will be counted as incorrect. Most of the times where I thought Team Treehouse was buggy, I later found I had a small error. Jonatan's answer at the bottom of this page is correct.
