You need to put this code for button. Your Button code difers from it.

<button type="submit">Submit</button>

You can read about action there

Thanks a lot. it’s still telling me Your submit button should only have the text Submit.
and wanted to ask why we have to write Submit after type=“submit”?

To show it on the screen. Submit is outside the brackets and show like the text on the button.
What did you write actually? Are you sure it’s right this time?

You need to write Submit not Sumbit.

In the lesson you see this structure, they just write not Submit but something else outside the brackets. In the lesson there is this buttons submits the form phrase. You can write there all you want when you do your own page, you know
