if that’s the value you want to give to the placeholder attribute, it’s that value you need to put in the quotes in front of the placeholder attribute

3

I did it, but it still complains this
You should set the value of your placeholder attribute to cat photo URL

4

see what I did

5

I am pretty sure it’s set to this is placeholder text

6

This is what did

7

you didn’t set it to cat photo URL as requested, you set it to a different value

8

This is what I wrote
<input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

this looks correct now. Can you post the rest of the code in case there is another issue unrelated to this specific line?
