Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 21,661 PointsWhat is wrong with my code?
I tried doing the challenge on my own but it didn't work, upon seeing how treasure did it, my code seems same but still not working. I am using chrome.
const pdf = $('a[href$=".pdf"]');
pdf.attr("download",true);

Edit: Alan M. posted a solution on a different post that worked for me.

Also, when you say "not working", exactly what are you doing and what do you expect to happen?
